The loft is very charming with cement floors, lots of potted plants and interesting art. Lots of photos on the walls so we could get to meet our hosts. The kitchen is practical with a dishwasher and small fridge that we did not use as we mostly ate out. Beds are comfortable (2 queen size beds and 3 single beds including a child's bed - small for a tall adult) and the living area full of light and warm thanks to a wood furnace that was easy to use whenever we were in the apartment. The loft fits 5 people comfortably. Only issue, the WC smells of humidity, maybe due to washer and drier stacked in it. Also, we only had one key which made it tricky when our family had to split. A set of 2 keys would have been nice to have. However, the loft is ideally situated, close to Place de la Republique and its multiple metro lines. The hosts made it flexible for us to check in and out. Overall, a relax home, very nice hosts. We recommend.
