Gilles' studio is just like the pictures but even better seeing it yourself. I felt at home immediately upon arrival. Gilles' friend was there to help me settle in :) everything was clearly explained and it was smooth. Everything was compact but they work out so well! Especially love the tiny balcony with awesome view. The person at ground level was very friendly too, though I don't speak French but he was very kind and directed me to the lift. There are several restaurants nearby and a mini mart next door definitely helps. The bed was super comfortable, I almost wish every day was Sunday, so I can sleep in. I met Gilles on sunday :) he came and said Hi and make sure everything was good. A very safe area for one person, all secured entry, easy access to the rubbish area, lift works well. Several shops along the same street too. I would definitely consider staying longer next time. Thanks again Gilles and to your friend.
