The apartment was totally fine for what we needed it for - a place to sleep in between long tourist days in Paris. Roch was very communicative and helpful - he gave plenty of tips and suggestions, including a great cafe down the street for coffee. I will say it the apartment was a bit older and less finished than I expected from the pictures, but it was fine for our needs. The view isn't great from the balcony - train tracks mostly, very industrial - but from the kitchen window you can just barely catch the Sacre-Coeur lit up at night. I would say that if you want an affordable place to crash, this would be a good fit.
