Summary: excellent views, roomy, good location, busy place with lots to eat and drink. However, very uncomfortable. This place is good for a short stay only (1/2 days). Not worth the price (163/night).
Pros:
- EXCELLENT views on the top floor
- roomy and spacious
- record player with good records to choose from
- washer, fridge, and kitchen
- wonderful location with lots of places to eat and drink and play
- outdoor garden to sunbathe in
- right near Sacre Cœur
- good wifi
- good if you like walking and are fit. Close subway. It’s on the top of a very steep hill and there are 5 floors to get to the loft. No elevator. I was winded each time I went home. A workout lol.
Cons:
- hot water didn’t work when I got there and they fixed it next day (I had to take a cold shower)
- heater never worked and I was cold all the time in April when morning/nights temps were in 40s. I slept with 5 blankets on me due to being cold in spring so I definitely wouldn’t come here any time than summer if I was you.
- the towels provided were HARD, scratchy, and smelled like mildew (I rewashed all of them and they still were bad). Bring your own towels!
- only ONE face/washing towel was provided for an 8 day stay. Unacceptable.
- I woke up with a GIANT spider on my head at 6am and I have arachnophobia so I was scared and uncomfortable sleeping for my entire birthday trip. Never felt rested.
- the “bed” is SUPER uncomfortable. It’s two separate futon things pushed together. They are hard and there is a gap in the middle that you fall in while you try to sleep. Very very very uncomfortable and I hated it. Only slightly better than sleeping on the floor which I would have tried if not for the spider 🕷
- the bathroom is unique but awful. Cluttered, cold, always wet because of the shower which sprays everywhere. The shower, toilet, and sink are all together. There’s no privacy if there are multiple people since the divider is a shower curtain. They will hear everything. No vent. There’s also a bathroom in the hallway which is tiny, cluttered, and dirty. I was scared a spider would get me there lol.
