CLEAN! The host is fabulous, very attentive to traveler needs, and his place is perfect for a traveler who does not want to accosted with street vendors every few feet on the street like you are when staying near the Eiffel Tower. His place is RIGHT ON an Underground Station, so you can get anywhere in the city pretty quickly. The place is also right across the street from a large park, Parc des Buttes Chaumont, that has a wonderful lake walk (Google for pics). I definitely plan on going back to Paris, and I hope that Hugues' place is available when I do.
