This is more a hostel than a private residence with a private room, so just be aware. It's also not the cleanest place; full of mold, dirty walls, the door to the toilet doesn't close except for a poorly installed simple latch. The room also doesn't have it's own lock, but they give you a padlock to keep it closed, again with another simple latch. The bathroom has no ventilation, and this room is located just on the other side of the bathroom so you'll hear everyone when they use the shower. The floors are quite dirty and there was no hot water in the bathroom sink. Overall, I'd not recommend this place. However, if you're not too worried about cleanliness or overall sketchiness of an unauthorized hostel and the seedier part of Paris, it's no problem. The price is alright, but you can find better accomodations in Paris for the same or slightly higher rate. I'm surprised there's so many positive reviews.
