Raul’s place is an airy and light-filled apartment, and he is a friendly and welcoming host. The bedroom is nice and big, as is the shared living space. The kitchen is fairly typical of a Parisian apartment (smallish) but I was able to prepare and cook meals easily. There is a bit of traffic noise at night, which didn’t worry me but others might find ear plugs useful. The bed is super comfortable, one of the best I’ve slept in. The apartment is close to public transport with a bus stop across the street and 2 metro stations close by, but it’s also a good walk into the city centre. Thanks for the conversations Raul, and for putting up with my bad french grammar!
