The vertical garden in the courtyard is stunning. As for the loft itself, it depends on your experience and perspective. We'd say this place is old-school Airbnb. It's like going to stay at the well-worn home of family friends who didn't know you were coming. Some things work, other things don't. There might be stuff piled in the corner and it's been a while since the place was dusted, windows were washed, and walls were patched and painted. There's masking tape on some of the windows, the sheets and pot holders have seen quite a bit of use and it's been some time since the coffee maker was cleaned . But hey, you're in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. If you split the cost with a bunch of young friends or bros, it's probably a good value. If, however, you're in Paris to celebrate a special occasion and you're used to modern-day Airbnb-- beautiful, professionally updated condos that are well maintained, smell nice and are sparkling clean, where the host replies to you promptly, not just before you arrive but while you're there, providing helpful information during your stay--you may want to keep looking. As an aside, I'm afraid we may have hurt our host's feelings when we contacted Airbnb with our concerns. Please know that that was never our intention.
