We were disappointed with the flat for the following reasons.
- We found out upon checkin that the place is not much an artist loft as actually the office of a graphic design company. The workspace had been transformed into a living room by removing the four computers.
- The place had a heavy smell of chemical cleaning products.
- The door gives on the staircase, so you can distinctively hear people passing by the door in the morning. We were unlucky that there were some building works that morning, so we could hear workers pulling and dragging things on the floor.
- The shower is in the backroom which also serves as a kitchen, with no curtain around it. This is different from the picture which shows a curtain around the shower, such that you can actually barely see it.
- There is much less luminosity than the pictures suggest. I think it's fair to say the pictures have been enhanced a little bit.
Having said that, Mathilde was helpful checking us in and accepted our request to shorten our stay and refund the unused nights, which we appreciated. I think it's not a bad place to stay, but you need to go with the right expectations.
