Mallory's place was very adequate and I stayed there for a week (my wife also for 3 days). The size was good, the bed comfy and all was very clean. The noise in other reviews was not an issue for us at all. Did I mention location - can't be beat - safe and central. Mallory also was very good and quickly purchased some essential kitchen items I requested (coffee maker). He was good. Improvements to make the flat better would be a sofa (the existing one is a futon and doesn't accommodate old bodies well). A week of walking around Paris necessitates a place to relax. And a small table to eat and surf at would also greatly enhance the flat. Overall - good value!
