Very nice and caring host, answered all of my questions promptly. Authentic neighborhood, a bit far from City center and 10 minute walk to closest bus stop. Paris has amazing public transit, takes you to all the key areas. -1 star for: broken bathroom door handle, no tv/cable (Paris is a beautiful city better to go out and explore then watch tv), no Power Converter, and balcony is in living room/common area NOT in bedroom. Note to U.S travelers: bring a power converter or you will not be able to charge your electronic devices. There is a very friendly cat in the apartment; if you have cat allergies look elsewhere.
