The host and her friend who spoke English met us and showed us where everything important was in the building. We were told when we arrived that the washing machine was no good to use. Parking was good. Very secure under the building. Good location. This is not a rental property. You are very obviously living in her home. If your looking for a safe place in Paris it works. If your looking for clean like a good hotel this is not your placeThe freezer was full and refrigerator even had some food in it. We stayed with two small children and were not inside that much. Good place for adults on a budget.
