Evelyn is a wonderful host and the apartment's facilities (living room, full kitchen, including clothes washer) were great. Despite some challenges with the loft, her apartment was very adequate for us. The location is great, quite close to the Eiffel tower, near the supermarket and we enjoyed the outdoor clothing and food market (several mornings each week) by the Dupleix metro stop. I don't recall the listing having mentioned the very narrow circular staircase to the loft and the need to swat under a low (around 3 feet high) beam in the loft to get to the bed and the very low slanted ceiling, making it very difficult for a 2nd person to access and use the bed without hitting their head. The headroom in the loft bedroom is unsuitable for guests taller than 68 inches and the narrow circular staircase is not suitable for someone who is elderly, overweight, or has hip or knee problems.
