The Place: When we arrived, the place was clean and had all the amenities we needed. Thank god for the elevator as the place is 10 floors up. The bed is firm and big enough for 2 people. But what makes this place special is the VIEW. It is literally a 360 degree view of Paris and can be seen through every window (even the bathroom window has a view of the Eiffel tower)!

The Location: The building is across the street to a metro stop. It's only a couple of blocks away from the Marché Charonne (farmer's market). 1 block away from a market and pharmacy. Great eating options within a 10min walk.

The Host: Fred was extremely welcoming and was able to accommodate our late arrival. He speaks english very well. He was available to answer any of our questions and delivered breakfast ($15/2 people/day).
