We never met Lara as it was co-host Linda who took care of our stay. Due to our uncertain schedule and limited internet access, Linda was extremely accommodating and considerate despite our limitations. The communication before and after check in was smooth and we had no problem checking in or getting information we need even though we never met the hosts in person.
The loft is spacious and tastefully decorated, we were in love with the minimalist and chic style. It's a big contrast to the small and cramped spaces usually found in central Paris. However, a warning to people with a lot of luggage and mobility restrictions, the narrow stairs you have to climb before you can enjoy the apartment!
The surrounding area has everything we needed, metro station, high street shops and high end shops with lots of cafes and restaurants to suit every palette and budget.
Not to mention that the Louvre and Pompidou Centre are both within walking distance.
Linda made our stay perfect and I could not thank her enough. Highly recommend to young travellers!
