Yassine is a great host but unfortunately his apartment is a huge let down. At this price point it should be much better than it is. I would guess from the kitchen and bathroom fittings that it was last refurbished in the 1960's so consequently the decor is grubby, sanitary ware is chipped and cracked, wall tiles are missing and cracked. Also the kitchen and bathroom are tiny - I stress TINY - they function ok but at this price I expect more. You need to know that the bed mattresses are old and weak so if two people are on one mattress you will collide in the middle - think how hard it is to sleep on a hill - I really struggled. The front door is a struggle too - after about four days I finally got the knack of how to get in - it is secure but if you have weak hands/fingers then forget it. The blankets/linen are also old and a few stains here and there. The kitchen crockery is also very very old - it's a bit like using your great grandmothers best teacups. The positives - location is great, true immersion in the real Paris - great - but also a bit noisy - a bar below closes at midnightish but last Saturday it was gone 3am before the party stopped. There is plenty of hot water and heating and double glazing. Yassine is great and keeps a full stock of cleaning products. He also keeps his belongings in the flat so you cannot really use any wardrobe space so you will be living from your suitcase. I could go on but would summarise with - the next time I am in Paris I will be in a hotel - I suggest you think about it too.
