Xavier sent me an email with detailed instructions and pictures on how to find their place. They were spot on and I had no problem getting there and getting in. Once there the place was exactly as pictured in the ads, clean, organized, and with everything I needed. I did not personally meet either but this was not an issue as I had no concerns. WiFi worked and had everything I needed in the kitchen.
Few items to point out. The bathroom is only about 3 feet wide so it's tight. Also, if not careful you will hit your head on the shelf overhanging the toilet when you sit to do your business, just have to watch it. Good water pressure, plenty of hot water and it was clean and equipped. Bed is a loft over the kitchen with only about 3.5 feet of headroom. You crawl into bed. Steps are steep to get to it so care must be taken coming down.
There is a TV but no cable service. They did have an HDMI cable so you could hook up a laptop if it's HDMI capable.
I'm 61 years old and easy so none of the above were issues for me. If you are fussy you probably won't like it. Personally I didn't spend a lot of time in the room, I mean, you are in Paris. Gave me what I needed: clean room, shower with plenty of hot water and pressure, and a comfortable bed. Even had a pack of biscuits waiting for me!
Location is just west of the Bastille so a bit removed from the main sights if that is where you are headed. The neighborhood is vibrant so a plus by itself. Given the public transit in Paris this was not a problem, I had no issue getting where I wanted to be. Buses and Metro close, big plus.
Two people tops would be comfortable here.
Overall a great value in an expensive city, would rent here again.
