I arrived at Thomas' flat in the evening and he was not around. But his flatmates welcomed me and provided keys and helped me get settled. They were friendly and able to answer any questions I had. The room was spacious -- bigger than I thought it would be -- and clean. The flat is in a great location if you plan on walking to the sites near Bastille or Notre Dame, and public transport is easily accessible if you want to tour around Paris. It is certainly worth the price for the location and the comfort of the room. Thomas was also quick to answer my message and questions, which helped a lot. The neighborhood is fantastic with restaurants, pubs, bakeries, etc all around.
