Guillame is a lovely host - very gracious. He has a nice flat on the top floor of a cool building with an awesome terrace in a non-touristy neighborhood, which we loved. His flat is also a good proximity to Notre Dame and Le Marais - we strolled around and it took about 30 minutes to get to Notre Dame. You could get there quicker if you were walking with purpose. Metro is also located conveniently. The room you rent is cozy, but we were able to unpack both our suitcases and felt like we could move around and were able to be organized in the space. The en suite is a sink and shower, no toilet, and it’s convenient to have your own facilities attached to your room. The toilet is shared, which is less convenient, and is in the TINIEST space. if you’ve traveled in Europe you know that they can squeeze stuff into tiny spaces - this is probably the tiniest space I’ve experienced. The toilet closet houses the toilet and the washing machine. You have to walk into the space and kind of lean over the toilet to close the door, then turn around. When seated, your knees are practically resting against the door, right leg against the washing machine and left leg against the wall. The sink is built into the back of the toilet. HA! it’s actually a humorous experience for Americans because we are just used to so much space. There’s a part of me that loved this little toilet closet because it’s a very European experience and there’s a practical part of me that was less enthused. Beyond the tiny toilet closet, the flat is very comfortable. The only other drawback is that Guillame, much like everyone else in Paris, is a smoker. He smokes on the terrace, but if you are sensitive to cigarette smoke this could be a drawback. The room that is rented does not smell like smoke and smoking is not allowed in that room, so that is a bonus. I happen to be overly sensitive to cigarette smoke so my eyes were definitely aware of it being a smoking household. That being said, the flat does not reek of smoke, i could just tell because I’m SO sensitive to smoke and have very sensitive eyes in general. Just a note in case that’s important to others to consider. Overall, I think most people would be happy here and we loved getting to know Guillame and seeing how Parisians really live.
