Raul is a gentle soul. He is very responsive, accommodating and flexible. I was just coming for one day and night to see the French Tennis Open and decided to change the check-in time to be after the game, much later in the day than originally planned. Raul was very understanding to work with my schedule. Afterwards, I wanted to know about where to buy groceries and he gave me some really useful local tips. While his place is accessible by several metro lines, I recommend taking the bus to reach his place especially if you are coming from the Gare du Nord which has a direct bus route so you can avoid going up and down the stairs and then walking from the metro station since the bus stop is just in front of his building. The bed was spacious and comfortable which is important to me as I find it difficult to sleep in any other bed than my own bed. While the pro to the place is that it is very accessible because it is on the main routes, the con is that it can be slightly noisy at night so if you are light sleeper, then you might need earplugs. I had a very nice experience.
