Overall a great value for what you pay. We had the loft on the top floor (there are other rooms with other guests staying there at the same time) and it was such a nice space! It had plenty of room to spread out, with a couple desks/shelf/dresser areas, a TV, a queen bed and a pull out couch (both big enough for two in my opinion), and a super nice shower. Additionally, the host (which was Cedric's father Michael at the time we stayed there) provides a free lovely breakfast of fresh croissants and baguettes from a nearby bakery along with marmalades, cheese, Nutella, yogurt, coffee, tea, etc every morning. I also thought I'd mention that you do indeed have access to the amenities listed, as Michael was happy to pull out an iron for me when I needed it and we did use the communal fridge for leftovers.
Although overall I recommend this Airbnb, there are a few things worth noting before you reserve:
- There are quite a few steep stairs if you stay on the top floor.
- The location is pretty far from the city center and there aren't a ton of restaurants around. However, there are two metro stops and a bus stop within a ten-minute walk from the house so you can access the city center in about 30 mins.
- My only complaint about the whole experience is that I had no way to contact Michael and/or Cedric when they weren’t around. I messaged Cedric through Airbnb to let him know when we would be arriving, and there was no reply. Additionally, Michael wouldn’t give me his number when I inquired (he said “I’ll be here, but he wasn't always). I tried messaging Cedric once again when we were leaving because Michael had said he could set out breakfast earlier than the normal time of 8am if we were leaving early one day (which we needed to the day we left to catch our flight), again to no reply. Not a dealbreaker in my opinion, but don't count on being able to contact the hosts through Airbnb.
