My small family (2 adults, 1 child, 1 senior) and I stayed at the loft in the Summer. The loft is centrally located. Close to the metro, shopping, and entertainment. It is stylishly designed and offers a multilayered, secured entry. The loft offers air conditioning (which is not common in my experiences in Paris apartments). However, note that the upper loft space can get quite warm and be too uncomfortable to sleep in for some. Our remedy was to move one of the mattresses down to the lower level and then leave the sliding door to the main level bedroom completely open. Privacy was not a big concern with our group since we are a family. This could pose a problem for example if two couples were traveling together and wanted private sleeping arrangements. Overall, more pros than cons. I would recommend.
