First of all, this is a very small place. It is really just a single room with the bathroom partitioned off by a sliding door, so if you are more than one person and a little squeamish about hearing everything, you might need to leave the room or put on headphones. :D
Everything is clean and neat and there is space to store two peoples' clothes and items. The bed is a double, not a queen, and is low to the floor like a futon. It was comfortable with lots of pillows of different sizes.
The kitchen is tiny but fine for making a sandwich or snacking. Lots of long, narrow counter space by the windows - which open in two different directions - helped offset the small space a lot.
The shower is cramped but perfectly fine - hot and cold water with no surprises - and the fixtures are very modern: the shower nozzle is of the hand-held variety and worked perfectly. Four towels are provided.
The location is very convenient to pretty much all of Paris thanks to it being so close to Place d'Italie. Also, there are a lot of great little restaurants nearby and a terrific boulangerie (bakery) about a block away. Unfortunately it can be pretty noisy at night to about 11 or midnight due to a full apartment building across the alley a cause de those same bistros and bars. If you need to sleep early this is not gong to be the place for you, at least not in summer. Closing the windows did not help any.
The proprietor was friendly and helpful: I felt like he would go to some lengths to help us or answer our questions.
Overall, if you don't mind how tiny it is, it's a good place.
