The room wasn't very clean, the lamp in the room was filled with dead bug. On our arrival the toilet wasn't flushed. The bedroom was very dusty and unclean. They was a moldy avocado on the counter that looked like it has been there for months. I would not recommend this house if you are a germ freak like me or like to live in a clean environment. It looked quite similar to the photos, however there were small details that were left out of the description, such has the size of the shower. If you are quite large in size and very tall then you will find it very hard to take a shower in this apartment. Another detail that was left out of the description is that the apartment is situated on the fifth floor (very long walk up the stairs). The only thing seperation the bedroom to the rest of the apartment is a curtain. Host was very friendly. Helped me carry my bag up the stairs and offered us something to drink on arrival. He quickly sat us down and showed us on a map the best locations in Paris. However after that initial interaction we did not see or speak to him again even though he was in the house. Check in was very easy. However i do wish we were able to check in earlier than the time we actually checked in at. If you are looking for somewhere very cheap and aren't fussed about cleanliness then this is the place for you. Great neighborhood and great affordable restaurants nearby. The only thing that let this place down was the cleanliness and the fact that it was situated on the fifth floor.
