Honestly, it’s a great location (I walked everywhere!), and the host is very responsive and helpful with questions. I felt safe walking back at night as well as a solo female traveler. The street may be silent but it is well lit and literally around the corner from some busier streets. The building is a bit older than expected, but I wouldn’t really see this as a con. There are quite a few older buildings in Paris. I’d definitely stay again if I could.
