Gilian's place was perfect for our stay. We were in Paris for 9 nights for the Euro Cup and the location was amazing. This was my 5th time in Paris and Gilian's loft was by far the cleanest Airbnb I've stayed at. His loft fit 5 adults comfortably. Sure, it was a little cramped, but we made it work. The futon beds were surprisingly comfortable. And the shower was big compared to most European showers. It was nice that the loft was on the first floor. Made it easy with all of our suitcases. I'd say out of all of the times I've been in Paris, this location was my favorite. There are some of THE BEST restaurants around there. We liked to try new places every day. On the Rue de Montorgueil, you can't go wrong. The Cafe Montorgueil was one of our favorites for dinner. It was absolutely yummy. And in the morning we would walk to the Tartin'art bakery for the most delicious pastries. And just around the corner from the loft there's a place called Le Grand Cerf that was also excellent. So basically you can't go wrong with food and shopping in this area. It's a very hip and happening area. People were constantly out. And there was a big supermarket a minute away. And it's very close to the metro, about two minutes. I would honestly stay here again. Gilian was very kind to let us check in early. Everything with the check in and check out went smoothly. I would recommend his loft to all my friends going to visit Paris!
