The flat share of Gabriel and his mates is very Berlin style, like I am used to. Very cozy and rich in space. Tiny balcony access is so sweet to enjoy resting on it. Kitchen is compact and well equipped. Stayed in Gabriel's room who was on vacation. Just got to know one female flat mate of him who is very friendly, helpful like Gabriel and multilingual. Price is absolutely reasonable, especially for Paris and this "big" flat share. Everything was so quiet, even if we were close to La Gare du Nord. Not smelly and very clean everything. The area, the accommodation is located, is quite vivid and is multicultural. As you can walk with 5 min to La Gare du Nord, you may also see some homeless and begging people, street artists, Indian/Oriental community and so on. Compared to the area "Hôtel de Ville", it's less touristic. I felt always safe, well, I also don't attract attention by holding my smart phone and money all the time visible for people. So thank you Gabriel, to let us live in your cosy room! Would love to book your accommodation again. Kind regards to all of your flat mates.
