Joseph's place is quite small and not very well maintained. It's just an 3x4 meter room with very minimal furnishings and a low loft for sleeping. There is a small old couch, a coffee table and a small built-in table with two folding chairs. The shower didn't drain properly. flooding the bathroom. The door lock was broken and the door didn't close completely. I never met Joseph and he didn't respond the one time I messaged him. But the biggest problem was the neighborhood. It's in a very poor part of Paris on a dirty, smelly street with homeless people sleeping in the doorways at night. Not very pleasant and I didn't feel comfortable or safe. I wouldn't recommend it.
