The interior of this space is exactly as pictured. The loft was immaculately clean when we arrived. Alex offered to arrange a car from the airport and we took him up on that. So glad we did! The driver was waiting for us (and he had to wait a long time because our plane was delayed). He was professional and took us to the loft early despite it being prior to check-in. Very nice touch and appreciated after a long flight from the western U.S.
The loft kitchen is well-equipped with everything you need to cook, dine and even entertain if you want. The loft is very spacious for two people and would easily work for two couples.
While you could bring your children, the loft seemed best for adults.
NOTE: If you have mobility issues, this loft is NOT for you! There is a narrow, steep winding staircase to the bedrooms. It looks beautiful, but it is no joke going up and down those stairs in the middle of the night for bathroom needs!
The washer and dryer worked very well and was quite a convenience so you can pack lightly and do a mid-week wash.
One of the more spacious bathrooms we've had in Europe, but as the listing notes, the shower is for short people! My husband is just under 6' tall and he had to sit in the tub to bathe. Not a big problem, but just be aware that you're likely not going to be taking long showers! But the amount of space made up for it.
If you stay here, two streets over to the west is a cool area with restaurants and shops. Very lively at night and fun.
This location is not as trendy as the Marais, but it was pretty convenient for getting around. It's about .3 miles to the nearest Metro (Chateau d'Eau) and from there it's about equal distance to the Louvre, etc. and also up to Montmartre.
We felt very safe in the loft. The gate on the street is secure with a code, then the building is also secured with a code to enter.
All in all, a very fun and romantic accommodation. It was a great home to come home to at the end of a long day of sight seeing.
