Pablo's place is a good value for the money. The metro is only a few blocks away and there are excellent boulangeries right around the corner. Due to the skylights there is good natural light and there is room to spread out. It was really nice to have a kitchen - we enjoyed cooking simple meals a few nights. The shower is just a hand-held sprayer but I had no trouble getting used to it. There is a tiny elevator (1 person and a suitcase is a tight squeeze) but you still have to climb 2 flights of stairs. If it is warm weather, bring a good pair of earplugs as there is a bar across the street that is active until the wee hours. But truthfully, with earplugs in, the noise didn't bother me at all. The door locks are tricky, but Pablo walked me through it via FaceTime. Pablo responded quickly to any questions that we had. We would stay here again if we return to Paris.
