Antonella is a very nice person and the place is truly central to Paris. It's a 5 minute walk to the Opera where the direct bus to the CDG airport is located. The room is clean and there is a tiny elevator in the building after the first flight of stairs. If you require a lock to your room or if you mind a bit of smoke (which many people in Paris smoke so it's not uncommon) then you might not be happy here. However, if you want a nice host, safe place, and a great location then this is a good choice.
