The host was always responsive to any requests that we had & he gave us privacy in our space. Location was great, near the Bastille, restaurants, & the metro connections good. Actually quiet considering the location. Shower was good for such a small bathroom! Loft not so good for sleeping if you don't like closed in spaces. We could touch the ceiling when you are lying in the bed. Light in loft wasn't good for reading. Kitchenette was cute, but the hot plate wasn't very efficient, but luckily we didn't need to use. Stairs to the loft might be an issue if you aren't very agile.
