  : There was no breakfast. We prepared our own food. No food was promised.
  : We wanted to keep the room for some hours as flight was late in the evening. But was asked to leave the room at 1 am. There was also no locker facility that they could inform us about.

  : The location relatively close to the line 4 metro station which goes direct to the train terminal to go on the Eurostar to London as changing trains on the Paris Metro is a nightmare as there is very little signage and no member of staff to ask.
  : The shower had seen better days. The bracket that was holding the shower head up was cracked and I could not angle the water in the way I wanted. Also the seals under the shower doors had seen better days and so the shower room kept flooding and needed up to 10 towels to get all the water up. I had to get as much water with one towel then squeeze the water out of it and do it again up to 10 times. I value a good shower extremely highly, second only to a comfortable bed, which unfortunately lower the mark I would have given this place considerably I am sorry to say.

  : First thing to mention - the host met us far before the official check in time, so it was quite nice and we got to the apartment earlier as the weather outside was rainy and cold. The apartment itself it quite good for 2 people - although it's a studio, but it has a separate dining area, big bed, TV, lots of kitchen appliences.The neighbourhood is great - nicely looking buildings, quiet, lots of caffees near by, pharmacies, a couple of small supermarkets at the walking distance, metro and bus stations are 5 min walk.
  : We personally didn't quite like the mattress - it's quite high and a bit too soft to our liking, but still it's more of a personal preference. Also apartment is a bit dark - facing the garden on the 1st floor, but it has quite a small window in the kitchen and a large one in the room, but for privacy reasons you have to close the curtains.One more downside - sometimes we heard the neighbour from upstairs walking early in the morning, or people walking in the hall. The noice isn't crazy loud at all, but may wake you up earlier than wanted :)

  : Nice and quiet neighborhood, close to the metro station.
  : I was disappointed that they didn’t provide liquid for washing dishes. And the bed was too soft and mattress felt like hammock. Not much kitchen essentials for cooking, like cutting boards, salt and pepper.

Wonderful

  : There are plenty of towels, good waredrobe/storage size, and comfortable chairs and bed.Enough utensils in the kitchen to make simple meals.The communication with the host was very smooth; great access to metro (5min) and RER (15min) station by foot.
  : The knives in the knife stand were all too blunt, but I found one that worked in the drawer.Sometimes the neighbour smoked outside the kitchen window and when I opened the kitchen window (for some air) the smoke came inside the room. It was rare enough that I didn't mind too much, though.

  : The bed was uncomfortable. The pillows were poor quality and stained.
