Our stay at Charlie's place was amazing! We ended up being an hour late to check-in and he was very understanding. The space was small, but very cleverly designed: the bed retracts into the ceiling to give more room. There was also a coffee maker provided with fresh ground beans, which my friend would have died without. The location is also very ideal. Metro stations, grocery stores, restaurants, bars, and bakeries are literally right outside the door. Charlie provided and map and recommended some places that ended up being really great to eat out at. Overall, our trip to Paris was incredible and having a great homebase like Charlie's made it all the more better.
