Fabrice is a kind and very hospitable person. For this particular room, you will need your own shampoo and soap. I can understand why for hygienic reasons, but perhaps liquid shower gel wouldn't be bad as compared to a soap bar. The room is located above a kitchen though, so if you're a light sleeper like my wife, then it may not be good for you as you hear dishes clashing and the workers below. Though the listing says air conditioning, there is none so if you get easily hot while sleeping like me, you'll have to sleep with the windows open. Fabrice said he had a fan but the previous tenant broke it so we didn't have a fan either. Having a fan or at least air conditioning would have made it easier for us to sleep as we didn't sleep well. Fabrice is nice and I'm sure for the next tenant he can have at least a fan ready. I think a backup fan should have been provided though (especially since part of the main reason we booked with him is because he had listed air conditioning as an amenity).
