Benjamin was not able to be there when I arrived but i was able to get the keys easily as per his instruction. The place was clean and very close to the metro station. His place is about a 15 minute walk to the Bastille and a bike ride away from other tourist attractions. I came for work so I did not do much touristy things and was mainly concern with getting a place close to transit. There were some corky but cute things about the place like having the toilette in the hallway and the shower in the kitchen! It makes for a great story for when I get back home! I would certainly stay here again if I come back to Paris for work.
