Hela's communication was 1st class - very friendly, responsive and helpful. The place is 7 min walk from a metro and 25min from the Eiffel Tower. It's in a quiet street and we didn't experience any excessive noise. The apartment itself, it was warm and provided a place for us to sleep for the night, with a tiny bathroom and kitchen. If you expect anything else you will likely be disappointed. Perhaps it's more a reflection of the state of accommodation and costs in Paris that what is clearly someone's home can attract such demand at such prices; the washing machine was rammed with clothes, there were items of clothing under the bed, the cupboards were filled with the owner's possessions, we could hardly get through the door for suitcases, food in the fridge, freezer entirely blocked with ice, etc etc. This place is for 'students', or people who think an apartment like this is "great". Supply and demand at the end of the day
