Mohamed was a good host who responded to my questions almost immediately. the apartment was small and is good for a couple using the bedroom. the pullout couch does take up the entire kitchen space when opened. I was traveling with my older daughter so we did need the two bed. lt was not an issue for us since we were using the apartment only to sleep. For users who are planning longer stays and want to use the kitchen and supplies this may not be the best option. Our stay was just two days and not in the apartment that often. The neighborhood was typical Paris and clean and safe. a Metro station was jus a few blocks away to take you to all of the attractions.
