The host is nice, friendly and can be easily connected by sms messages. The flat is like in the photo. Very small but clean. If you are without children, you plan to walk around Paris and just sleep at home that is a variant for you because the price is good and the lication is just perfect. The bed is enough for two, we had no problems. There is a big wardrobe, a good TVset, a microwave oven, no problems with water or electricity. Good friendly neighbours. First floor. The flat is safe. Place d'Italy is 2 min.walking and all the transport lines go from it. It is convenient. The district is calm with no clubs or crowds of people. If to go in the direction of Les Gobelins and further, you will find nice architectural tangled streets made of stone and monumental buildings, pleasant cafes and inexpensive shops. If we ever come back to Paris, we will choose the same location. We stayed there from 25 June to 4 July 2016.
