Fabienne was exceptionally kind. She was a wonderful host. The space itself is fairly modest (the shower is shared with Fabienne and is in her bedroom, but she always gave ample time and space to be on one's own) and extremely good value. The room is very close to the Gare du Nord (7 min walk), fairly close to Gard du l'Est, and extremely close to the metro (2-3 min walk to one, 5 min walk to another, and 7 min walk to Gare du Nord metro stop). The place was very clean. Great place for a student or cheap traveler looking to make friends. Merci, Fabienne!
