This was a calm and quiet room for a great price. The host is kind and very patient. She speaks very little English, but between my terrible French and Google translate, we were able to communicate without a problem. There wasn't much room to hangout outside the bedroom, but the convenience makes up for it. If you want a place to socialize, theres a few bars nearby, and it's right next to the Metro, so I could make it to the center of Paris in about 15 minutes. Its perfect for anyone looking for a cheap, quiet room to visit Paris for a few days
