I have not stayed in other places in Paris, so don't have anything to compare this to, but...would not return to this apartment. While it was inexpensive and conveniently located, it had the appearance of a place that is only rented -- run down, paint chipping off of tile counters and walls (that were painted...), a few bugs, and a little dirty. Apartment is small and a little dark (closed in on GF), building was OK, but also run down.

When I travel I like to confirm contacts and logistics ahead of time, particularly because things can change unexpectedly (with connections and children along...), but my repeated requests starting multiple weeks ahead for contact with the person who would meet us with a key did not result in that happening -- despite repeated emails to the owner and his multiple promises that someone would contact us it never happened: we arrived in Paris with no confirmed way to reach the person with our key (had a mobile number that never responded to texts or calls...). While someone was there when we needed to get in, they did not show up as promised on the day we left and we had no instruction what to do with the key.

Overall - logistics not handled to my liking; place was not great.
