Really comfy and cozy apartment.
There is a patio and lots of light and ability to block daylight too if need be
Safe and secure building.
Very quiet at night.
Market downstairs was super convenient and has all the essentials we needed. Nearby are very good Vietnamese restaurants as well as the usual bistros and kebab places and bakery for morning baguettes.
Metro a short 8 minutes away.
Nice park right down the block.
Late at night coming from the metro can be a bit sketchy, as there are prostitutes and nightclubs around that draw questionable characters so do be careful especially for solo female travelers- take an Uber when in doubt. This, of course, is no reflection on our host but we thought it be helpful for travelers to know. As a native New Yorker I had no concerns at all.
Kitchen has all the utensils and pots pans plates and equipment needed to cook a nice meal. Fantastic stove top and oven and microwave/broiler combo. Nice fridge & freezer. Washing machine was a bonus but hanging clothes to dry was a bit of a project, though. A collapsible drying stand would have been great.
Place was very clean upon arrival. All surfaces were clearly disinfected and safe.
Bed was super comfy.
Check in was super easy
We felt like this was a home away from home and would certainly return again. Great host all around.
Would certainly return again.
