A lot of good things about this flat: Great value (well-priced) for Paris, very large space for a studio, recently updated bathroom and full well-equipped kitchen, view of Eiffel, centrally located in a lively neighborhood with good shopping. Stephane is an excellent host but unfortunately he was away so didn't check me in. His assistant very kindly waited for me until 8 PM as my plane was late, but gave me no information and no instructions for flat or local tips were provided either online or on paper. A few other small problems: No toilet paper provided, no usable frying pan (Stephane brought me one the next day) and washing machine door wouldn't latch so I couldn't do laundry. Bigger things to know about: There is a lot of loud street noise, even with windows closed, especially until restaurants close but also random people yelling in the middle of the night. Also, the flat gets very hot in warmer weather, and there is only a small fan, no A/C and no cross-ventilation so you'll need the windows open at night (a problem with the noise). If you're OK with all that, this flat is a great bargain for Paris!
