Charlie made me feel very welcome. I had some issues with my luggage being forgotten by the airline and he put considerable effort into assisting which was great considering the stress that naturally already comes with being alone in a foreign country without knowing the language. It was beyond helpful.

The place itself was certainly small and the stairs were a bit tedious but all-in-all the price for value received was fantastic. Everything you need is there --great host included. It was practical and clean which was perfect.

It is located really close to everything I needed to get to while there. The neighborhood was just far enough from Gare du Nord where you didn't feel hassled when outside the building but close enough where you can easily walk to the station. There is a grocery store nearby as well as some decent food so you have all of the essentials. The immediate area was very neutral in terms of things to do from what I saw (in my short stay) but it was very easy to get around from this location.
