Gloria was extremely helpful and friendly, even if we sometimes had to communicate using Google Translate because my French and Spanish is poor. The room was small but there was enough space for my things and the bed was very comfy. The shower was very small but i managed even though I am tall. The location was great, very to close to Voltaire metro station. I felt safe walking into the centre of Paris along Rue de la Roquette, which is vibrant with bars and takeaway food. The best thing about the house was the privacy - it was easy to get in and out early in the morning or come home late at night without disturbing anyone (I hope). When I was not out walking, I could relax or sleep in the bedroom. Thanks for the hospitality Gloria.
