This was actually a hotel, not a typical Air BnB. The staff was charming and helpful; old world style in a quiet, respectful ambience. The buffet breakfast was greater than I expected to include eggs, sausage, and pancakes. The shower door is a bad design which requires a watchful eye to prevent flooding the floor. Inconvenient for a large person. Everything else was superb! Good location: Train station, bus stop, and it provides cheap eats as well as classic restaurants. Hidden from rue de la Gaité is a great Indian restaurant, I forget the name but it sounds like basmati. There is a Super U and Franprix next door as well as a tourist shop for last minute kitsch gifts.
