The loft is clean, beautiful, and well-furnished. The building is old so there is some natural wear and tear but that only adds to the charm. The soundproofing is okay, not terrible, but you can hear other guests walking up the stairs and some minimal noise from the street. The kitchen has plenty of utensils, cups, plates, cookware, and small appliances, but the stovetops are quite worn and the teapot is badly rusted. There are no filters for the coffee maker, sponges, or paper towels, so you'll have to buy them yourself. Also, the tiles on the terrace are in rough shape and need to be replaced. Besides that, everything else was great. The area is convenient -- a short walk to Rue Saint Joseph and the Old City, even in winter. Overall, a very enjoyable stay.
