We stayed at Alexis's place for one week and appreciated its proximity to Montmartre and convenience of being near Metro stops that allowed us to easily travel to the city center. However, after being in the apartment for just a few minutes we noticed a distinct musty smell. We also found that the kitchen and bathroom had not been cleaned or as well stocked as we hoped. Upon further inspection, we discovered mold in the closet, and around the windows. In addition, we later found that the ironing board was not useable because of the mildew on it. As a result we had to begin our stay in Paris by cleaning the kitchen and buying our own hand soap and paper products. On the plus side, we liked having a kitchen where we cooked meals and a terrace where we ate outside in the evenings. Would not recommend this place if you have any sort of allergy to mold. But nice to find a no frills place in Paris that we could afford!
