This is a very convenient location, one of the entrances to the metro is right outside the front door, and very close to the centre, only a few stops from most of the central attractions. The loft is very bright, comfortable and well equipped, we could have cooked for ourselves but didn't bother, just got bread and pastries from one of the excellent bakeries. It was also very quiet as it faces away from the busy street. Matthieu had prepared a very comprehensive guide to the area and went through everything with us when we arrived. We liked the area, it was very lively, multicultural and young. We ate in a couple of the Vietnamese/Chinese places and had really nice evenings with our neighbours. I would definitely stay again if I was going to Paris and would recommend to friends.
