This room is a strategic and inexpensive base for young travelers who want to explore Paris.
Its advantages include a great location near Montmartre with a metrò station whose two lines go directly to different parts of downtown. Bastien's directions and advice were exemplary, complete with indications for bars, restaurants, supermarkets and laundromat. The room is Bastien's bedroom, which he rents when he is away, and we rarely saw his hardworking flatmate. So we had the place to ourselves and we freely used the living room. The wi-fi worked perfectly.
Unfortunately there are a couple of disadvantages, too. The hot water arrives in a trickle so weak that it is very difficult to take a shower. Bastien and company probably cannot fix this - the plumbing is old - but the overall level of cleanliness in the kitchen and bathroom also left much to be desired. This why we would call it a good choice for students or young people who are comfortable in an informal setting and will mostly be out visiting this incredible city.
