Matthieu is the most attentive and accommodating host we've encountered. The apartment is exactly as pictured - light, bright and clean. Loved the down comforters and the kitchen looks newly remodeled. The neighborhood is rather gritty (half dozen friendly prostitutes just outside the door and quite a few drug dealers selling "spice"). But the proximity to the Metro stop is very convenient (just steps from the door). Would definitely recommend for singles or couples who are looking for a nice clean place from which to explore Paris.
