The place was exactly as shown, was very clean, and is a great place to stay.
This is in the heart of a very vibrant and lively part of town. You really just need to go down the stairs to feel right in heart of Paris. Grocery and restaurant choices abound!
Very close to the Châtelet–Les Halles metro station which connects to to the airport and the rest of Paris very easily.
Communication was excellent and check-in/out no problem.
The second floor location was much appreciated when we were first bringing in our luggage or really any time we were coming in or out.
The host considerately left earplugs, which I would recommend if you're hoping to get to bed early or sleep in. This would probably be less of an issue except that we stayed during a heat wave and had to leave windows open at night to cool the place down, which it did nicely thanks to windows on three sides. It was also nice and cool when we arrived in spite of the record-breaking heat.
An extra bit of recommendation to LGBT travellers, as this was a very openly inclusive part of town.
