This is the second time I have stayed with Cyril, and will stay with him again if I am in Paris. Cyril is so friendly, and his place is just so handy to everything in Paris - Gare du Nord, subway stations,10 mins from Louvre by Metro, great restaurants in the area etc etc. Now there is a Monoprix supermarket right across the road, also, which is great for buying your breakfast supplies! The flat has no air-conditioning, but the basement bedroom was lovely and cool when I stayed in July. His flat is in a really nice little courtyard complex which is quiet and full of plants, with nice neighbours. The flat is clean and cosy, and ideal for a stay in Paris. Cyril is the perfect host. Highly recommended.
