The Loft was clean and tidy and Valerie had left us some biscuits and tea. Very sweet. I hadn't fully taken in board the ladder in to bed. But was very funny after a couple of glasses of wine! Loft is a 5 min walk to Canal st Martin. Felt safer there than directly around loft. But loft is very secure with two gates coded for entry. Valerie kindly recommended places to eat and we were very happy with them.
So easy from Gare du Nord. Just a 10 min walk at most.
