Gisele was a great host, easy to communicate with. Even when my train was delayed by a ridiculous amount of time she arranged to let me in at a late hour (for a charge but still accommodating).
Indeed it is cute! This tiny apartment is only for the tiny, especially when it comes to the shower. The bed is a fold out futon kind of thing, not the most comfortable but not terrible. Quiet building that is close to many restaurants and public transportation. It does not feel like a touristy neighborhood which I appreciated.
