I cannot say enough about this host and his loft ... warm, friendly, inviting. Communication was easy and always accessible. The outside of the building is very nondescript, but the loft was exactly as pictured, but better. Arriving just after Christmas to a beautifully decorated tree and lights in the planter of the kitchen window. The decor is what you would hope a Paris loft would look like. Coffee table books abound to peruse while having your morning coffee or a glass of wine at night. The Sonos speaker system filled the room with music in the evenings for dinner and relaxing. The kitchen is a cooks dream. Well supplied with everything you need. The beds are comfortable and the linens exceptional. There are storage cabinets and hanging racks so you can unpack and relax. The washer and dryer were extremely useful during our two week vacation. The Metro station is just up the street along with numerous restaurants and grocers. It was PERFECT for us!
