This place is very special. First of all, it is the owners real home, so there are all those personal touches you find. It is a former artist's studio, so the light is fantastic. And there is air conditioning for those warm Paris days. The bed is super comfy (best we had on our month long trip), kitchen fully equipped (with industrial strength iron, toaster, clothes washer, etc.), and the location is fantastic. Steps from the metro. But the best part is that it is so quiet. There are two courtyards so the hustle and bustle of Paris is right outside, but inside it is like being in the country with greenery and window boxes. The hosts were there to greet us and were readily available when one of us got sick and needed some medical information. All in all, I can't recommend this place strongly enough. Totally part of the magic of Paris.
