DD is a great host and super nice guy. The only problem we had was when I tried to text him from my US number but that wasn’t his fault. I sent a message through Air B&B and he immediately responded. The room is small but for Paris I think it’s typical. We only needed somewhere to sleep and take a shower really. We had no intentions of just hanging around the room. If you are from the US and are use to a lot of room then this isn’t for you, but why go to Paris to sit around the room?
The room is sort of built into a back corner of the building, almost like a basement so it does have a basement smell but he had also had some water issues from a neighbor above which he was upfront about. It also stayed super cool even when it was in the 80’s during the day.
The location for us was perfect. You literally walk out the door and see Notre Dame and walk to St Germain in 2 minutes and have more shops and restaurants than you can see in a week. Even with that, the location of the room allows it to be almost completely insulated from any noise which is great when you decide to finally go to sleep.
