Kathleen is a wonderful host. The room is in a central, safe and at the same time, very quiet neighboorhood. The place is actually nicer than the pictures. Although it is a shared apartment, the room has its own entrance, bathroom and toilet, and I had all the privacy I needed during my one-week stay. Transport to all Paris has to offer was very convenient, with many metro and bus stops close by. I also enjoyed the proximity of the lovely Parc Monceau. I would definitely choose Kathleen's place for my next trip to Paris.
