Giovanni's place is a perfect place to discover Paris to the fullest, especially when you are a tourist but wants to see more of this city than just the touristic attractions. The place is very accessible with public transport, and is only 3 kilometers from the center of Paris. Although it lies on a quiet street right next to a beautiful park, there's 50 meters farther a dynamic and very multicultural street full with shops, bakeries and restaurants that will make international tourists feel directly at home. :)
The appartment itself is very convenient. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay: warm beds, good shower, kitchen, wifi, space enough for four people while still being private,... Well, beware because it can be quite difficult to leave Paris to go back home because of the coziness of this appartment! :) Luckily that there were no cats, or the lure would be complete.
The only disadvantage is the soundproofing. The walls within the building seem to be quite thin. There was hardly any noise coming from our neighbours but we were afraid all the time to disturb them when we talked loudly or wanted to put on some music.
But apart from that, the host seems to be very friendly. He himself wasn't present to welcome us, but stayed very communicative via messages. Judging from his collection of graphic novel, he must have been a quite interesting guy to talk to.
