Cleanliness and tidyness of the place is impressive and unremarkable.Room is as advertised. It has a large comfortable bed , a desk and a small balcony with a nice view from a seventh floor appartment. Building is very secure and located in a very safe area full of many supermarkets, bakeries and restaurants. It is close to two parks in Paris and to the famous canal. Joel is a very kind and responsive host. He is friendly, sociable and always smiling. He likes to talk to his guests.He allowed me to drop off my luggage earlier than check-in time so i can take advantage of my day in Paris. He even helped me with my luggage on the way up and on the way down because the elevator of the building was not working.I would highly recommand his place and would definitely stay there again.Thank you Joel!
