Santos’ home is lovely, well-maintained, and clean. Spacious room for lounging, cooking, sleeping, showering. The in-unit washing machine and dryer were a blessing. Bathrooms were in excellent shape.
Location is immediately in front of a metro station, grocery store, multiple cafes, boulangeries, and restaurants. The area nearby has a reputation for pickpockets, so just be careful to not have valuables in back pockets or open bags. We had no trouble. The home itself has a beautiful protected courtyard and we loved it.
Nathalie was incredibly responsive and generous. She helped in the first place by staying late to allow us entry when our train ran late. Then she came by with extra bedding and to check on something for us. She also started us off with some milk and coffee for the first morning and other gifts. So appreciated!
Overall, the affordability, the comfort of the space, and the access to public transit, plus the special treatment made this well worth it. Highly recommended.
