Staying at Gilbert's place was a blessing for us. His apartment is very well located in Paris, near to metro and bus stops, and it's a few steps to one of the most beautiful parks in Paris--Butte Chaumont (we had a picnic there on our first morning in Paris). Yet it's an affordable location with everything you need nearby and an easy commute everywhere in Paris. Gilbert is super friendly, flexible, and easy to communicate with. The room is super clean and private with a simple but nice terrace; the bed is super comfortable. I was there for 4 nights with my husband and we totally recommended it!
