Benjamin and his wife were great hosts! Very helpful and Benjamin was super responsive when we had troubles unlocking the door late at night (locks are a little different in France than in the US). The room is spacious and the apartment is modern inside, yet it still retains that classic Parisian feeling. The shower is great. The neighborhood seems to always be bustling and the apartment really is right next to the metro; it was a quick ride via public transit to get pretty much everywhere we wanted to go. If you have trouble sleeping with noise, be sure to leave the windows closed because the street below is surprisingly noisy. Overall, I would definitely stay again and we had a wonderful stay; I only wish it had been longer!
