Lionel was travelling when I arrived, but his mum helped check me in. She was a charming sweet old lady who barely spoke English but yet could convey all the information she needed to, and in any case Lionel had this folder filled with all the necessary information as well as super-useful tips (complete with well-illustrated maps) of nearby stores and amenities. I could not have asked for more!

The listing itself was cosy, clean and comfortable, and had everything I wanted or needed. The location was fantastic, just a short walk from Pompidou Centre. All in all, I had a great stay, and I very much recommend it. The only thing is that the bed is a little bit small (somewhere between a super single and a queen), so it might be a bit tight for a couple.

I stayed here over the Paris attacks in Nov 2015 (so incredibly sad), and Lionel was very kind and offered to extend my stay at no charge if I could not get on my flight out. Fortunately I left on schedule, but I really appreciated Lionel's gesture and wanted to share that so that people know what a great host he is.
