The place is ideal if you are a solo traveller on a budget and do not care about having a lock in the private room. The roommate Deniza was very friendly and nice to have around for anything you may need. Communication with host was good. There are two cats in the apartment as advertised and because the cleanliness was not up to the mark all my stuff was covered in cat hair when I left. The toilet door did not close at first and was very not very comfortable to use. I was concerned about the neighbourhood when I arrived, as it is in proximity to unsafe areas especially if you are a female solo traveller. There is a nice park and cafes on walking distance. If you want to live in the centre of Paris, this is not the place for you as it is in more residential and far from main attractions.
