Francois' loft is in a lively, central area in the 2nd Arr. Just a few minutes walk to Notre Dame, the Louvre and Sainte-Chapelle to name a few attractions. The 'Les Halles' metro station is literally a 1 minute walk away, and will take you ANYWHERE in the city quickly - what a phenomenal service to have so close to your stay! Francois as a host was very responsive and provides pages on pages of where to go, what to do, and how to make the best of your time in Paris - great host!
Our only issues with the loft were ones out of Francois' hands. (1) The city was doing service/repairs on the block, so our flat lost power twice during very inconvenient times during our stay. That means no A/C or flushing the toilets! (2) The dryer portion of the washer/dryer combo also had a failed temperature sensor, so no drying capabilities - after the spin cycle, we left our clothes on the hangers provided by Francois to dry. (3) A small hiccup in check-in that was quickly remedied by the cleaning staff and Francois without impact to our schedule.
All-in-all, I would stay here again and absolutely recommend any of Francois' listings. He is a great host!
