Guilga was welcoming and very respectful. He and his daughter were away for a lot of the time I was there, so it was very quiet. Clean, homey and well organised for visitors. I felt very comfortable there. It is tucked away in a large apartment block which makes it a very secure environment but it is suprisingly open and sunny. Very quiet environment above the busy streets. Good wifi. Lots of reasonably priced Asian restaurants just outside. It is around the corner from a big shopping centre and the metro, which made it easy to get to anywhere in Paris quickly with a rail pass. I took the Metro to the airport cheaply and easily. (although many of the stations have no lifts or escalators, so you need to be able to get up and down flights of stairs with your luggage.) Had a very productive time sight seeing and attending a conference and Guilga was a fabulous host.
