The apartment is centrally located with nearby shops and two Metro lines that makes travel throughout Paris convenient.
Unfortunately, the apartment itself was a bit of a letdown. Not mentioned in the listing was the school yard (daycare?) abutting the narrow alleyway across from the location. The problem is that from around 7:30, and at times throughout the day, the shrill screams of pre-K playing permeated the walls of the apartment. We never knew French kids could scream so loudly.
In addition, construction in the apartment next to ours meant that scraping and pounding started early, and was easily heard through the adjoining windows, but thankfully ended early. Yes, the windows to the apartment are literally in the wall of the apartment next door. Fortunately, there was cardboard in front of the window, but the construction workers could be heard very clearly. Maybe this construction will be resolved in a month or two, so this comment might not apply to every reader.
We never figured out how to turn the heat down. Sleeping in a loft requires some adjustability to keep the upstairs cool at night, even in October.
The apartment was clean and bright. And the communication with the host was fast and clear.
