Sebastian was waiting for us even though our train was delayed. He helped with our luggage and gave us valuable information whenever we needed (how to use the metro , restaurants, etc. he even let us have a later checkout so we could visit Versailles. He also arranged for a taxi back to the station when we left. The loft was equipped with everything we needed- we cooked breakfast each day, had a washer and dryer, outlets for adapters ( major for all mobile users),yet it retained its primal charm.
