For budget travellers who are willing to stay a little further outside the centre of Paris, this Airbnb could be an option. However, two notes: for visitors (perhaps more for female visitors), be aware that the neighborhood gets sketchy at night and that you should be alert. Also, the shower for the Airbnb is in the hosts' room, so you need to factor that into your schedule (i.e. not shower when someone's in there, only shower when they're out or if you'd coordinated in advance). The building itself felt safe, although the staircase and hallways often smelled of raw fish (fish markets nearby) or trash. I didn't get a chance to meet Valentina, but her partner was very kind and she was quick to communicate via Airbnb messaging.
