Sam was truly one of the most hospitable hosts I have stayed with. Very kind and helpful. Please note, in common Paris flat fashion the place is tiny and cold in the winter. It is also up 6ish flights of stairs. These stairs are no joke and pulling luggage up them is difficult. Also if you plan on coming into town late this may not be the place for you as bringing luggage upstairs quietly is impossible. Other than this, location, location, location. There is truly no better location for the price.
