Great loft, perfect for 2 couples with a straggler or 5-7 singles. Cool amenities, good price, and located well in relation to Gare Du Nord (Eurostar arrival station) and Straubourg-St. Denis (nice metro station with multiple lines). Also walking distance to the Musée nationale d'art moderne.
Raphael speaks English very well and is quick to respond.
Note: the apartment gets a nice breeze, particularly at night. However, there is no air conditioning, and no fans in the apartment that we could find. This didn't matter to us (a group of five 20-something's), but it may to others.
Overall - superb stay. Thanks Raphael!
