Pablo's loft was amazing! My friend & I stayed for 4 nights in early June, and I liked the loft the moment I saw it in airbnb, Pablo responded promptly via email, & his instructions to his place (Charonne station) from Gare Du Nord, where we arrived by Eurostar, were crystal clear. We had a warm welcome from his mother, who was there to greet us. The place was exactly how it looked from the photographs in airbnb, Just watch your head at areas of the loft where the ceiling is lower. Pablo has some travel guide books lying around, that are quite useful. The bed was really, really comfortable! My friend is anal about beds, but she slept soundly throughout the stay. The windows have no curtains or blinds, so she had to wear a sleep mask when the sun came up. The lift wasn't working, so we had great twice- daily workout on the stairs to eat more! A couple of nice-looking cafes downstairs & around the vicinity; seems well frequented by locals instead of tourists. Carrefour supermarket, a 5-min walk away, became our nightly haunt as well.
It was my first experience with airbnb, & definitely not my last. I will definitely stay at Pablo's in my next visit. Thank you!
