Excellent location. It blew my mind how we were right in the middle of a busy area of restaurants and shops but as soon as you close the heavy door to the courtyard, silence descends. I think we heard outside noise only twice during the whole week! Apt overlooks another resident’s amazing patio. 6min walk to metro.
No elevator but only one flight of stairs, then another flight inside to the loft. Not an Airbnb for someone with mobility concerns. The apartment is beautifully decorated; someone really has an eye for aesthetic. Very clean. Room for storing/hanging clothes. Kitchen and bathrooms are spacious and functional. Two bathrooms (one shower, one tub)! A miracle in a Paris apt. Enough room in living room to do yoga or a workout but FYI the floor is much too hard without a mat. We made do with blankets. Wifi is good.
Even in high heat, the loft didn’t get too hot. I wouldn’t call it cool but the upstairs and downstairs fans did a good enough job to sleep through the heat.
Only challenging bit was having one set of keys for two people bc we couldn’t use the gate buzzer to get out of the building (key required even to exit). This may have been a temporary situation.
