We just returned from a wonderful 5 nights at Charles' flat. Charles was very responsive by email leading up to the visit, and greeted me and showed me around (and let me check-in early!).

The place was very large and light-filled, and was plenty of space for the 3 of us. There is probably enough room for 5 adults comfortably as long as someone is willing to stay in the living room. Nice soft beds with extra blankets, great water pressure, a full fridge and a stove and microwave, and even a dishwasher. Heat worked well (I dont think there is AC). It was very quiet too despite being close to a bustling street.

The location was good- a parisian neighborhood that looks to be gentrifying (but still very safe), half-block to metro. We walked everywhere- 20 min to parc des buttes chamont (highly recommend!), 10 min to republique/canal, and 30 min to Marais. Nice bakeries nearby and a few lively bars. We didnt eat in the neighborhood but there were tons of ethnic restaurants, especially asian food.

We all recommend Charles' place!
