We had a great stay at Gilian's loft in Paris.
Location is very central and easy to get to (sex shops and strip clubs in direct neighborhood - it did not impact our stay at all, but something you might want to know if travelling with kids).
The loft is exactly as it is on the pictures - we loved it!
We decided to go to Paris the night before we arrived. Gilian was great in getting everything ready in time for us!
