Hedonist House - Design & Cosy Apartment between Louvre & Opera

The place worked well for our family of 3!

Great location with shops and restaurants nearby. Walk to the Louvre and the Seine. The bedroom and ensuite are downstairs from the kitchen and living area so if you had 2 people on the pullout sofa using the bathroom for them would be very awkward.

The apartment was lovely and very quiet inside. It was interesting being inside a shopping area but didn't bother us at all. The stairs going down to the bedroom were tricky so be aware of that if you have mobility issues.

We stayed in Florian’s apartment for three days in early August. It was a great location and place for what we needed. Check in worked well with the codes he provided, no issues with that. Bed were comfy and water was hot. It’s a tiny place and located in a covered passage way among the shops so I would say perfect for a short term stay if you plan on just being there to lay your head for the night. There are things in the kitchen that you could use for cooking but it was missing some essentials like cups (only one we could find for the four of us) but we hadn’t planned on making any meals there and we didn’t spend much time there during the day. Because it’s small and covered (no actual outside windows), it’s a bit dark and there isn’t much ventilation so the downstairs bedroom has a bit of a musty smell. We found if we turned the air conditioner unit on for a while, it helped with that. It’s a bit of a hike to the Effiel Tower (about an hour) but we made a day of it and walked by Notre Dame and around the entire area, over to the Eiffel Tower and back. It worked well and we saw lots. We spent the next day in Versailles on a bike tour which I highly recommend. We didn’t communicate with Florian during our stay, mostly because we didn’t need to and we had what we needed from him ahead of time. Overall, I would recommend the apartment for a 3-4 day stay but not sure if it would work well for a settled in long-term stay.
