This apartment is adequate, particularly if you are traveling on a budget. The neighborhood is fantastic, very lively with many shops, restaurants and bars. It is not far from the Metro and therefore fairly easy to get to the tourist sites. We did not feel that it was that clean, and the extra bedding had clearly not been washed recently. Also, to no fault of the host, there is scaffolding outside the building and we had workers right outside our window at 8 am every morning. The toiletries mentioned are all left behind by previous guests and therefore incomplete and unappealing. The shower has no door and the floor becomes very wet as a result. Ultimately, I would not stay here again, although the price is very good for the location. Other than the bathroom, the apartment is a decent size for a couple of people and what you would expect in Paris. It is just missing some of the things I expect, such as cleanliness and amenities. The host however gets a five star rating - he was so responsive and tried very hard to make everything right.
