We were greeted by a very welcoming and friendly Florence! She had very kindly provided us with croissants, juice and wine, and was so helpful and informative, leaving us with a folder of maps and tips for making the most out of our 3 days in Paris. (The only negative thing I have to say about her tips would be that I would definitely not recommend Le Bouillon Chartier, the restaurant she listed as her favourite!).

The loft itself was very clean and comfortable, with all necessary amenities and lots of interesting decor. Unfortunately, the curtained-off bedrooms were not very practical for our group. We travelled with infants who naturally went to sleep a lot earlier than the rest of us, and the curtains adjacent to the living area meant that evenings had to be very quiet for fear of disturbing them. The beds were also not the most comfortable, and the loft was quite stuffy without any ventilation - although the weather was particularly warm during our stay.

The location is perfect. The loft is right round the corner from the metro, and surrounded by a variety of restaurants, bars and cafes, as well as being in walking distance of lots of the main sights in Paris. The area felt very safe, and the loft itself was extra secure behind a coded gate.
