Gilles was away during our week-long stay but he arranged for his friend Tamara to help get us settled upon our arrival. Tamara was very nice, and the entire process (check in/out) was easy. Gilles also checked in on us (via airbnb messaging) every now and then to make sure we were doing okay, and to water his plants :D

The place is as advertised. Clean, stocked with various supplies, and Gilles also has some really useful reference materials for sight-seeing; the map book was fantastic.

The neighbourhood was calm and quiet. There's a supermarket, bakery, self-service laundrette, and internet cafe (with printing facilities) all within the immediate vicinity. There are also quite a few restaurants and cafés in the area. The closest Metro is only 3mins away (by foot).

A great place to stay. Would definitely come back again!
