If I were to rate Paul himself as a host, I would rate him five stars, but because I'm rating the apartment, I have to go with less. The studio is located a short walk from Montmartre, and streets with good restaurants, also not far from the metro. The problem for us were the odors and cleanliness. The smell of smoke was like emanating out of the walls and sheets. This was extremely unpleasant especially to sleep in. We only had one towel the whole time that smelled musky and the bathroom smelled like sewage sometimes. The toilet has a cleaning liquid that refills and is very chemically and overbearing. I would say this place is good to stay for a couple nights but after that you must leave. I really hope the odor situation is fixed because this place would be a true bargain. I am not always on my phone and was not quick to message Paul but he was very good and he accommodated our last minute request to change our booking because we missed our flight. I have to give him kudos for that. He also has a lot of cool old things in his apartment, like books, records and posters that resonate with a culturally-minded person.
