This is a nice affordable option for a stay in Paris. We enjoyed our stay and we recommend it. The host was very available, cheerful, helpful, and full of recommendations. The location is close to a metro stop that you can use to get to all of Paris within less than 40 minutes or so. There are the usual near by shops, but also a very nice indoor market. The unit is a simple studio, but had everything we needed for our stay. This is not a "corporate" unit, but a real person's apartment in an inexpensive part of Paris. It is a bit more working class, but we always felt very safe and when we there it was quiet.
