Estelle and Fred are great hosts, very responsive and quick to answer our questions/requests. The location is very good, in a nice neighborhood close to a lot of attractions and easy access by metro to a lot of attractions. The building is old but the apartment has been nicely updated. It's mostly quiet (except someone rolls the garage out every morning at 7am), and surprisingly, it's not too hot even thought it's been very hot days during our stay in Paris. The shower drainage is slow but if you watch out and don't keep the water running high at all times during your shower, it should be no problem.
