The host, Lyon receives you whenever you arrive with the key and recommendations for Paris to your heart’s desire. Luckily, we are both conversational and Lyon was so patient, knowledgeable and kind. Unluckily, we are both conversational because even though we both have tons to do- we ended up chatting for 30 minutes. Lyon is an art, culture buff who gave me an extensive museum/site/food list that I didn’t have to do my own homework, essentially. The bed is cozy and the room is clean with a dyson air purifier. The WC is conveniently next door and also separated by the living room to where your hosts and shower is. This is good for when you want to come and go as your please and play your music without disturbing anyone. The space is shared: toilet, shower, kitchen and living room. But Lyon & Thierry are usually out and about. Their skyline views are incredible & Lyon is also generous about sharing the amenities- he will inform you or just ask- Lyon is minutely responsive by text if not in person. Thierry is soft spoken and endearing- he walked me to a nearby boulangerie for real Parisian pastries. Lyon and Thierry are fantastically conscientious & warm hearted. I couldn’t ask for better hosts- it felt like I was at a good friends home as they’d certainly became for me. In the heart of Chinatown for super affordable eats and a couple miles from the city center. It’s definitely walkable (hour) but you need good shoes and cardio- alternately, the location is a couple hundred meters away from the tram, bus and train lines. (Lyon will guide you but following Google maps worked well for me too.)
