Alex was a welcoming, respectful and attentive host. He and his fellow flatmates helped me whenever I had requests or needed information, and also offered me coffee, food, access to their washing machine, etc. The location was safe and though a bit off to the side of the typical attractions, very walkable and close to the metro as well as many grocery stores and cafes. Be aware that this is a very much a space you will be sharing with others, so there is some noise and generally people around, but quiet hours are well respected. One other factor to take into consideration is that the room is rather small, but moreover its single frosted window does not open— so I found it rather stuffy. All in all a great value for the solo traveller in Paris.
