Overall the experience was okay.
Pros:
Host: very nice host and extremely responsive and attentive via message.
Location: Absolutely amazing location, close to major sights and lots of restaurants.
Cost: Good if you are on a budget.
Building: Lovely old building with beautiful stairs and a tiny old-fashioned elevator.
Internet: Great internet connection, my partner had to take an exam whilst we were there and it never failed.
View: lovely view of Paris rooftops.
Cons:
Room size: It’s tiny, there were two of us, it was uncomfortable as there was nowhere to move.
Heat: it was unbearably hot, no air-conditioning only two fans. Sleeping at night was really difficult due to heat, noise from the street below and mosquitos as we had to keep the window open to avoid overheating.
Bed: Futon was not comfortable and small. My partner and I are not big but it was very cramped.
Neighbour: The lovely neighbour wasn’t so lovely, she wasn’t welcoming at all and likes to slam doors.
Overall:
We recommend this place for a single traveller who is on a budget. I think at other times of the year the heat shouldn’t be such an issue. Not recommended if you’re carrying heavy luggage as the minuscule elevator doesn’t go to the 6th floor, only the 5th. Ideal for a backpacker who is willing to give up some luxuries (bed, space, heat, noise) for a great location and cost.
