The best part of the unit is the location. Its in the heart of the 2nd arrondissement, and is very safe. Most attractions are 15-30min walk from the unit, but once you get hang of the subway system, you can pretty much get around the entire city in minutes. Metro stations are about 3-5 min walk from the unit. The unit is small, and basic, if you are use to north american sized bathrooms you might have some trouble. The bathroom is tiny and might take some getting use to. Its not small, its very small. Other downside is being on the main level, you get some noise from other tenants going up to their apartments at night . Overall its a nice place, close to everything, safe and great host, not sure if I would stay there again, mainly because of the small bathroom, other then that it was a great place.
