Communication with Gilbert was easy, he promptly replied to my messages. He has been very flexible for check-in and check-out, we met outside the metro Arts et Metiers and he showed me the apartment and gave me all the information I needed. Gilbert is a nice and interesting person. The studio is very spacious and comfortable, I found everything I needed for my stay. I had dinner a couple of times at home and I took advantage of the micro-wave to prepare some express food bought at a supermarket nearby. The bed is comfortable, there is also a couch that is comfortable as well. Internet was fast. The apartment is central and at walking distance from many interesting neighborhoods. It is located in a narrow and quiet street (but I left of friday and was not there in the week-end). The only inconvenient is that the window glasses are quite thin so the acoustic insulation is poor. However, I used earplugs to sleep, as I often do, and did not have any problem at all. Overall, I had a very pleasant stay and I will certainly look for this accommodation at my next visit to Paris. Highly recommended.
