Staying at Ruth’s place made my trip in Paris much more fun because you get to meet people from all over the world! The location is great, proximity to the metro, city center, restaurants and supermarkets. When I first arrived, I felt like there isn’t much room for me to store my clothes. Indeed there’s a shared closet- not big but should be sufficient for you to hang your coat/shirt. There’s also cabinets (without a lock) for everyone to use. I have to be honest that sometimes the apartment is not very clean, especially when the cleaning staff is on leave during the weekend. So you have to bear with that. Other than that I think overall it’s a good place to stay in if you have a tight budget.
