Ahhh Cyril, seriously the nicest guy. He had work all day so couldn't meet me but didn't hesitate sending a detailed email on directions (complete with pictures) and when we did talk he was nothing more than gentlemen. I found the location easy to get to as most lines stopped nearby, and he's right by Gare Du Nord which is great if you're traveling via train from another country. His apt was clean, well put together, and his room was quite comfortable. It was a shock realizing I would have to walk past him at night (from coming in late or using the bathroom) but he assures me it was no problem and I felt extremely comfortable very quickly. A generous man, quiet neighborhood, I would visit Cyril again If he would be gracious enough to have me. Highly recommended!
