The loft was wonderful, full of character! It's in a great bustling neighborhood, but separated from the street by a coded door into a shared courtyard. The location was easy to get to from Gare du Nord, and anywhere else in the city,with multiple bus and metro lines extremely close. We were a group of 8 and had one bed still to spare. The loft is so thoughtfully laid out. The kitchen/upstairs living area was plenty of room for all of us to feel very comfortable without ever feeling cramped. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay.
