'Twas a wonderful place to stay during my first-ever visit to Paris. Madame Hélène and Señor Jaime were incredibly warm, welcoming, and kind hosts. I received good and clear communication and response (I was delighted to find that the household is trilingual) before and during my stay, and upon my departure she even saved the day by providing me a shopping bag to contain my backpack that had broken earlier that morning. The space was one of the more interesting and unique ones I've stayed in, much to my liking. The sixth floor (seventh by US measures) attic studio had a cozy, vintage, old-world ambience with woodwork, a window overlooking a courtyard, and a mini-library, as well as being clean and well provisioned with ample lighting, plentiful electrical outlets, a heater, a sink, and even an enclosed private WC (toilet). Yes, there are narrow, winding stairs (part of the adventure), and yes, the WiFi signal is weak (if you happen to position your device just right at certain times) or out of range, but these were not issues for me. I slept surprisingly comfortably on the sofa bed, and the sheets were both a bright stylish yellow and "so fresh and so clean, clean". The location is superb, in the heart of the seventh arrondissement, minutes on foot from the Eiffel Tower and surrounded by places to shop and dine; I walked everywhere, but I saw that the bus, Métro, and RER were close by. This listing has my strong recommendation!
