I thought the host was very nice when he did communicate with us although it was not as soon of a response as we would’ve liked it. The apartment was as described. In the picture the window looks like it faces the street it does not, it faces the inside of the building. It is on the 1st floor which was very convenient especially with luggage! The apartment was bit far from the main center of Paris but was definitely accessible. 6 min walk from metro station. Walking at night was somewhat worrisome as there were always groups of men on the streets. No one bothered us so we were relieved. Overall it had everything we needed and we were happy to have place to be.
