The description of the place was certainly correct, but a bit poetic and pompous.
Small place with a lot of useless things: dishes, cups, mugs, etc. that space would be better used with a more comfortable space to cook (or to clean the dishes: you have to clean them in the bathroom!) or to place your belongings.
Cleaning was not so good: there were hairs and dust all over.
The bath was not very comfortable to use. It is shared.
It is true that the place is well located and the neighborhood is fine, quiet and in Montparnasse Metro station.
