So what's good in this place?
The neighborhood seems interesting. There's a large Asian community in the area; primarily Vietnamese, Chinese, and maybe Thai. The place is fairly close to the train/tram station as well as a small park. Bastien (the host) seems like a nice person and reasonably accommodating. Even though we didn't get a chance to drink them, he offered us some beer when we arrived. The people that were in that place at that time spoke English including Bastien. The building is pretty secure as there's a night person at the lobby of the building. The room has direct access to the balcony but you have to be careful because the cat might come in your room as sometimes the cat roams around the balcony. You get clean sheets and towels. There's a few walking distance market...I suggest microwaveable food when shopping and nothing that you would prepare in the kitchen.

The bad...
The price is not worth the place. The pictures in the house are old. There's 2 other people (male & female) who stayed there the whole time that we were there. They're nice people but it was awkward to use the living room because the male friend slept there. The pictures you see are old...there are no blinds or curtains to your balcony/window only the crank shutter. There's 3 pictures of different bedrooms but the picture for the room that we stayed in has a bed frame...only in reality, there isn't any. The room we stayed in is probably what you would expect in a college student's room, which is probably fine if you're young and just making a quick stop in Paris. The internet is really weak in the bedroom unless you go to the kitchen or living room. They have a cat and pretty friendly; the cat is not an issue it's that they don't clean the litter box too often so it stinks up the house. They keep the cat in the kitchen at night which is even worse!...We can't try to prepare any meal even if I want to because of the smell and I can only imagine what the cat does at night when he's locked in the kitchen. The host doesn't vacuum the floor so you can expect to see the cat hair on the floor (everywhere). There's clutter around. The bathroom could use a thorough cleaning. In short, for the price that we paid for...we would have gladly paid a little bit more to stay in a hotel if we knew. So if you wish to stay here, go at your own risk.
