We really liked Cleia and Yohan's quirky little apartment. It was in a great spot and had everything we needed including a washing machine, which was most useful! The shower was excellent and the king sized bed was really comfortable.
It was easy to find and really convenient to both Republique and Temple Metro Stations. There was also a Mono Prix supermarket near Temple, which we used a lot as well as many of cafes and restaurants nearby. Try the Onion Soup and / or crème brulee at the Republique Café ….. magnifique!!!
The area is quiet, safe and very interesting, with a really bohemian feel.
We had a bit of a hiccup checking in as we didn't receive the necessary information re codes etc but a phone call to Yohan sorted it out quickly. When we got in, we found champagne in the fridge, bottled water, coffee and tea and everything was sparkling clean.
The wifi is reliable and fast. However, the telephone reception in the apartment is poor so we needed to go into the courtyard to make calls. Wasn't a problem for us, but I did worry a bit about disturbing the neighbours.
The grates inset into the floor were certainly unusual but not a problem for us. Having read through the previous feedback I took slippers but didn't need to wear them.
Note that the apartment is very small and finding a spot for luggage was a bit of a problem. Also I couldn't reach the hanging rails in the bedroom cupboards so had to be inventive with clothes storage - but I am only short.
Although it's called a loft, it is actually on the ground floor so there are no steps to get into the apartment. There is a step down between the kitchen and living room though, but we didn't find this a problem at all.
Overall, it was a great stay in an interesting area and we liked it a lot.
Cleia and Yohan stayed in touch by e-mail and responded very quickly.
Thank you to them both!
We recommend the Loft to future Paris travellers.
