Pros:
- excellent location in the heart of Paris
- affordable
- host is quick to respond and nice person
Cons:
- horrible bed in this room (not a bed in fact, but a matress not even flat so you may have trouble sleeping)
- cleanliness is way below standard, it requires a thorough cleaning, the whole place
- some home appliances are broken and require replacement, electricity went off twice while I was there, so something is not going well there with some of these old devices or maybe even the whole circuit system
- the place requires thorough refurbishing, things like walls and such (even though this doesn't affect your personal comfort)
- speaking of the above, you can't even close or lock the bathroom door and you should know that at any given time there can be 3 or more people sharing this apartment
If looking for a cheap and affordable room in great location in Paris, I can suggest it unless you mind things I mentioned above.
