Our stay was exactly aligned with the proposed description and our expectations for a loft like this in the district of Bastille i.e great!
Unfortunately for us, we booked the first two weeks of August which are usually in Paris the "dead weeks" where people do works (2 apartments were being reshaped with hammers and electric drills noise through open windows).
Not to mention the neighbors who apparently did not receive the same notice we had regarding silence and respect and had parties on Thursdays until 5am.
