This is our beloved home in between the rooftops of Paris. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found this gem from 1824, and renovated it ourselves. For over one year, we have been drawing, planning, sawing, hammering and painting, and now we are happy to share our 55m2 beauty with you. You’ll get our soft sheets, thick towels and my grandmother’s porcelaine. Please be aware that we actually live here. It’s not a hotel! We are looking for guests who appreciate and love objects with stories. The space The living room is quiet and flooded with sunlight as the three windows are south facing. It's a peaceful space that lets you rest. The kitchen is fully equipped with an oven (with grill function), microwave, two hotplates, fridge, various coffee machines to suit all preferences, a kettle, a selection of teas, basic food supplies, and cookies for midnight snacks. We have often cooked family meals here and then sat around the dining table, which seats up to five people. The sofa folds out to a very comfortable double bed, and then there is my favorite : the steel daybed from the 19th century, that we carefully stripped of layers of history and painting. A fifth person can sleep on it if need be. The old fireplace does not work anymore, but it still looks pretty, lit by some candles. Upstairs you have the bedroom with its queen size double bed and the bathroom. You will enjoy our luxurious duvet, 100% down feather (it is life-changingly light and soft, like sleeping in a cloud), our expensive organic bedding - no steel, only organic material for less headache and deeper sleep - and of course our beautiful percale sheets. We think the best is only good enough when it comes to our sleep, and many of our guests have said that they particularly enjoyed that luxury during their stay. The bedroom can not be completely closed off, the stairs will always be open. The bathroom has a door that you can shut for privacy. It is equipped with a bathtub, toilet and sink. You will also find a washing machine and dryer, a hair dryer, and laundry detergent, shower gel/shampoo, and hand soap. Our thick white towels come from the same organic brand as the sheets, you will like them. When you take your shower, you will have to sit down in the bathtub. The view into the sky is really nice. Enjoy stretching out in a hot bath after your busy day and gaze up into the stars! Please note: The apartment is perfect for a couple and very nice for a family with kids. We would not recommend it for a group of 5 adults, unless maybe for a short stay, with little luggage, or if you know each other really well. There is a second toilet next to the living room - for big groups we do allow access, don't hesitate to ask us for it. Guest access You have access to the whole flat and a second toilet outside the flat, which you are sharing with us if you wish to use it. You have a private toilet in your private bathroom. The entire flat is your private space, we do not have access to it while you are here. The interior courtyard is shared between all neighbors. Unfortunately, you can not sit and relax here, because the house-rules we have agreed on with neighbors don’t allow it. But you will enjoy coming home to this peaceful scenery after a long day in the city. All the plants also keep the building nice and fresh in summer. Other things to note We only have 2 rules : 1 : Please don’t smoke. Not in the flat, not in the hallway, and not in the courtyard. 2 : Please don’t sit or lie on top of our expensive duvet. The feathers would break and you would ruin its delicious fluffiness. Our apartment is registered at Paris city hall under the number 7511104254124 Registration Details 7511101915335
