Stephane is a great host, communication was excellent before and during our stay, and it put my mind at ease to know that he lives in the building. The location was excellent, a quite street near the metro, grocery store, and the market street Montorgueil. However, it’s an old building and the walls are thin. You can hear footsteps above and frequently the neighbor’s music or television. In fact, one night, the neighbor had a party that the went past 1:30am. Although Stephane messaged the neighbor for me, the music was only turned down for a little while. The apartment is bright and functional, but the leaking washer has damaged the kitchen floor and the towels need replacing.
