The place is perfect to sleep and have a quick bite, shower and leave to explore Paris. He shares his space, so you will see there’s a lot of his belongings around, which was completely fine for me as I only used the space to recharge for the next day. I also worked there the first day and the internet was good. The building is old but also quite, I didn’t have noise at night despite of being close to the street where there are a few bars open until late. No elevator so you’ll have to walk the stairs to the 5th floor, again I did this twice a day maybe as I spent most of my time exploring. Lots of highlights of the city are walking distance, and if you one by one and love walking you won’t even feel time. The place does smell like cigarettes a little, but over all I loved the privacy, the sofa bed was comfortable, the rest room is being renovated but has hot water and everything I needed, heater kept me warm at night and I was able to go to a club and walk back to the bnb.
