This is a tough review for me to write. On one hand, the location of Michael and Johanna's place can't be beat. It's convenient, there's lots going on in the neighborhood, close to many of the sites in Paris. And it's a great value for where you will be in Paris! On the other hand, it just needs some work. As much as they may try to keep it clean, there's mold in the bathroom that I just couldn't get past. It's not just in the shower but on the walls as well. You can tell they've tried to clean/stop it but it's there. The other thing to note is the loft. It is truly a mattress on the floor and not meant to be an area where you can stand. Sitting on the mattress, you can touch the ceiling. That didn't bother us but if you have someone with mobility issues, this may not be the place for them. All in all, if you are looking for an outstanding location, convenience, and value, this is a great choice, as long as some of the other issues I've mentioned won't bother you.
