Great host: accurate, honest and super kind, including a flexible mind when it comes to cope with surprises and requests on the passenger side.
The place is small but hey, it's Paris, one of the most expensive cities in the world. It's cozy and has all you need for a great stay, in a cosmopolitan, colorful zone. Of course you have options for whatever you're into, meaning: art, music, bars, meeting people, books, random walks seeing exotic clothes, etc. A great neighborhood to know about the real Paris, away from the touristic hot spots. Walking distance from Parc de Belleville, a wonderful place. Talking distances: strategically located to readily get to anywhere at rive gauche, and all Paris in general.
And all this, in a quiet place where you can go early to bed if you want and have a great silent night. Sorry for the length, but I spent a great week at Noel's cozy place.
