Communications with Olivier and Isabelle were fantastic - before, during & the end of our stay. They aim to please & will do what they can to help you, if you need. Don't hesitate to email or text them if you need something. We inadvertantly received outdated codes for the key lockbox and the WiFi password, but all was resolved.
The loft is located in the PERFECT area of Paris. The Latin Quarter is such a great central place to reach *everything* your heart desires. There are two Metro stations within a 5-minute walk. And, yes, you will *need* to utilize the city's superb public transportation to see all that Paris has to offer.
The loft was perfect for us - a middle-aged couple on holiday. I wanted a place that was on the ground level since most buildings don't have lifts, and this place saved my aching legs at the end of busy days.
The place was clean, organized and ready for us. Olivier & Isabelle have outfitted their loft with just about anything you'll need. Psst ... there are 3 outlet converters in the back of the utensil drawer.
The loft area features a comfortable full bed with fluffy pillows, a nightstand, TV and fan. The stairs are a bit steep and the ceiling is low, but you're only up there to sleep, so it's really no big deal. Keep your suitcases downstairs, & you won't have any issues trying to get dressed.
The main living area is comfortable & cozy. For lounging downstairs, we watched Netflix via our laptop. The kitchen is outfitted with everything you may need. Olivier and Isabelle treated us to a complimentary bottle of wine waiting for us upon arrival - what a delight! We didn't cook, but used the microwave, refrigerator and coffee maker. For the 2 of us, we didn't need the dishwasher.
There is a full bathroom with a huge shower and fantastic water pressure. The toilet had an issue with flushing when we were there, but we figured out how to make it work and told Olivier that fixing it could wait until after we left. No big deal for us. The towel warmer is a nice extra! Refillable body soap & shampoo and a hairdryer are provided.
On the semi-negative side, the loft struggles a bit with outside air ventilation. The fault lies with the loft's physical design. Only one of the 2 ceiling windows would open, & to get any airflow, we kept the door open a bit. Again, not a big deal for us.
The neighbors were courteous and friendly. A pretty quiet courtyard.
Can't wait to return!!!
Merci beaucoup, Olivier and Isabelle!
