Alexis was a great host with good English communication skills. He was prompt to answer all my questions and doubts.
Pros:
1. The place was nice and cosy with a functional kitchen.
2. All basic gadgets like hair dryer, iron, washing machine etc are provided.
3. Nearest metro station (Parmentier) is a 5 min walk.
4. Decent restaurants and pubs nearby.
Cons:
1. It's on the 5th floor with no elevator.
2. It may become a bit hot during peak summer time.
My only suggestion would be to add a full mirror somewhere to make the house perfect! I would anyday recommend his place, if climbing up the stairs is not an issue.
