Anais is very sweet and helpful and communication was quick and easy. The flat is cute and quirky, but small; although the two rooms are separate, you can hear pretty much everything from the next room. Coming from NYC, I'm used to living in small spaces, so I didn't mind terribly. The neighborhood is amazing: tons of bars and restaurants, 3 metro lines within 5 to 10 minutes walking distance, a nice park, laundry, bakeries, and a monoprix all just steps away. Anais has a lot of books on graphic design which I thought was cool.

I did have some complaints: first, one of the futon/beds was broken. It was obvious that it had broken and Anais's flatmate had fixed it with some rope, but it didn't hold and left a gaping hole in the bed frame that made it impossible to sleep on. My flatmate had to move the bedframe and put the matress on the floor. Anais lowered the price for this reason, which was appreciated. The second complaint was the lack of cleaning supplies. The broom was broken and the vacuum barely worked. This made it really difficult to clean the place (we stayed for 2 months, so it was an issue). All and all, I was happy with my stay. I would recommend this flat and this lovely host :)
