This was a great find with great hosts. I got to spend a few minutes with Jerome and he's a very interesting fellow. I only met Caroline as I was leaving.

Because I'm traveling by bike, I can't book too far in advance. In this case, I emailed Jerome at 10 pm the night before I wanted to start my stay. He responded in about 15 minutes. And his response time was equally as good as we coordinated my arrival.

The apartment is pretty much as billed. There's a sofa that turns into a bed and it's very comfortable. Ask Jerome how it works!! The bath facilities are interesting. The toilet is in a separate little "room" from the sink and shower. Let's just say that if there's two of you, privacy could be an issue. For one it wasn't a problem.

The location is directly across from a pretty busy train station. That means great access to the entire city. But if you need to leave the windows open at night, and noise bothers you, bring earplugs. There's a shopping street (an almost car free +/- 10 block long mall) less than two blocks away. It's not a designer street, but it'll have just about anything you might need.

This was my first Airbnb place so I can't make any comparisons, but overall I was very pleased.
