The host is great. Romain was great. He quickly responded to our needs, great suggestions on restaurant, and easy access to supermarket. Close enough to PICARD to get some easy made meals.
Easy access to metro. The place has been updated recently, yes, very IKEA type of deco. The washer take a long time though.

The only thing is that if you have young kids, the upstairs neighbor is very sensitive. I think, he was not happy with us. But, it is really hard to get the kids stay quiet, since they are excited in a new place. The courtyard could be noisy (yea, right, I am complaining... ;-) ). For two nights, the party from across the courtyard stayed up still 3am. It was pretty hard (they were talking and laughing with windows open). We had to keep ours open too since it was a hot day. Finally, I had to close the windows, and then, we don't hear anything anymore.
Other than that, it was a pleasant place. Clean, good price, and close enough to everything.
