The neighborhood could not be more perfect if you are wanting to be in the midst of the Latin Quarter. Just a block from Notre Dame and three blocks from the Saint-Michel/Notre Dame Metro Station (with RER-B and C service), this was an excellent choice for our trip. The loft looks very similar to its representation in the listing-Corto has added a couch-like set of cushions that takes up a bit more floor space. If you are looking for charming and quaint, this is it. If you are looking for tons of space and ultra-modern, you should probably keep looking. It was exactly what we were after and it fulfilled all of our expectations!

Entrance into the loft is easy due to the elevator (with a glass view facing north to Notre Dame as you ascend) that takes you to the floor just below the loft. Then, it is just up a short flight of stairs that are just charming and old-world! The windows in the loft face west, provide tons of natural light, and do provide a view of the top of the Eiffel Tower!

Corto is a wonderful host and is quick to respond to any concerns or questions via Air BnB message, phone call, or text. The only difficulty we had was gaining access to the loft at our appointed time (noon). I don't think there is anything Corto could have done differently...he was caught in traffic and delayed by a little over 2 hours - that's Paris. He suggested a nearby cafe for lunch (which was great), so we took our luggage a block away and enjoyed lunch and a drink while we waited. In the end, we were still in the loft by 2:15 or so AND had a wonderful lunch and refreshment before we started our exploration of the city!

Finally, Corto is amazingly thoughtful. He knew that there was rain in the forecast and left us two umbrellas to use! Thanks to Corto for a wonderful stay!
