The loft was well decorated, very clean, and comfortable. It is in quite a residential area but close to two metro stations which makes it pretty convenient. But if you're exploring the city it's likely you'll not use it as a home base during the day since it's so out of the way. It was pouring when we arrived in Paris and we found it difficult to find the apartment first on the street and then within the complex. One thing I have to add is you are very much at the mercy of whoever happens to be staying next to you or underneath you. The walls are extremely thin - we could literally hear our neighbors' hands on the stair banister. The second night we were there the couple staying next to us had an argument very late at night, one of them then threw up several times (which we could hear in graphic detail), had their alarm go off at 5am and snoozed several times before finally getting up and packing. Needless to stay we got no sleep that night. Thankfully no one seemed to be staying next to us the rest of the days. While the apartment was as nice as it looks in the photos (the bath was absolutely divine!) I don't think I would choose to stay here again.
