Richard’s place is in a great location. I walked to the metro in 2 minutes and could get around Paris easily, while it was still a quiet residential area to stay in. The corner bistro was popular with locals of all ages gathering in the evenings for dinner, there’s a bakery and a small reasonably priced grocery store next door, and lots more amenities. The room is quite large and the bathroom has a lovely double sink, ceramic bath tub, and shower. Richard was kind and generous with hosting and answering questions. The other reviews described some confusion with sharing the bathroom - it’s very standard in Paris apartments for the toilets to have a separate room from the sink and shower. The rented bedroom has an en-suite double sink and shower and the toilet is down the hall and shared. There’s a kitchen sink that’s shared for handwashing. Richard was transparent about not requiring to share the shower room on a short stay and using his gym facilities instead. It wasnt a problem!
