Positives
1. Prime location very close to metro and restaurants etc.
2. Flexible check in and out.
3. Host communication in English is good.
4. Big collection of books.
5. Induction stove, facility to iron clothes, washing machine, microwave , hairdryer all available.
6. Quite and warm place.
7. Best for people who come to Paris for work.
8. Safe place to stay.
Negatives
1. Too many things in a little place
2. Cant forget Iron box kept under the western commode and ironing table on the side of the commode and also a vacuum cleaner. I don’t understand why these thing belong to the lavatory.
3. Lots of utensils in the kitchen but very few useful.
4. Bath area is so small, if you drop a bar of soap you have to open the door get down 15 inches to the ground bend and then pick it up.
5. Used clothes of the host hangs around.
6. Books everywhere, if you don’t plan and keep all your things in one space, it’s impossible to search.
7. For me it looks more like a storage space then a living space.
8. Not meant for couple on a holiday.
This place with all the negatives I have mentioned is cost effective for Paris standards.
If you have time you can request the host to move things a little bit and stay.
