The area is located very close to the Metro, several grocery stores, and restaurants (local and chain fast foods KFC and McDonalds)! The space itself is expected for typical Parisian apartments: a bit narrow but manageable. The kitchen is well equip with utensils and basic herbs and spices: salt, pepper, cooking oil. The fridge are the smaller sized ones. The stove is a conduction type appliance, so it takes a bit of getting use to and trial and error on which pans work. The washroom, as previously mentioned in other reviews, very limited toilet paper so we bought our own and left several for the next guests. Other than this, washroom was very clean. The living room with the pull-out couch is a bit cramped when the bed is set-up, especially if there's also luggage in the space. The other beds were located at the basement accessible through a narrow winding stairs. Although no windows, the space was constantly cooler. The bedding and linens were very clean and extremely comfortable: ie. great sleep! The place had great WiFi service and although we did not get to see the host, we were in constant communication with her.

Downsides: no windows in the rooms and basement, but there's a fan provided on the main floor, and large window by the kitchen.
