The house is nicely updated with great amenities. It is very modern and comfortable. It is walking distance to the Louvre and Notre Dame. Public transit is nearby which makes it easy to get where you need to go. Checkin was great and you will not find a nicer host. The Bad- The stairs to get down stairs are very narrow without any sort of railing. You have to walk through one bedroom to get to another. The musty smell in the basement is far worse than the reviews described. Our clothes and bags carried the smell through the remainder of the trip. We found it hard to sleep with the moldy smell downstairs. There were also quite a few ants upstairs in the kitchen. Although the place is very beautiful we would not choose to stay here again.
