Everything is exactly as described and Renate is deservedly an exceptional host. The room is small but well planned and in a great location! A very nice boulangerie right across the street. Nearby grocery shops and metro stations too. The courtyard bathroom is a little inconvenient but the wonderful shower makes up for it. The courtyard is semi private but I did not see or hear the other residents. There was work being done there during my stay but was not at all instructive. Its a quiet, clean, safe attractive space that is perfect for one person. Renate was very gracious And helpful. I highly recommend!
