Our host Pascal was great. He was there when we arrived and helped carry our luggage up a lot of stairs :) The place itself looks just as pictured! The metro is only a block away which was very nice. We also found that the area was great. We were able to walk to a lot of places, and Pascal gave us some of his recommendations. There is a Monop' where you can buy snacks, food, breakfast items, etc that is also less than a block away. We were very happy staying at his place. The only small issue we had was one day while we were napping he opened the door and was about to walk in when I sort of let out a shriek so he quickly closed the door and then rang the doorbell. We were unhappy about that. He apologized in that moment, but he didn't knock or ring the doorbell prior to walking in which was odd to us. We never got an apology phone call or e-mail after that either which left a little bit of a sour taste in our mouth. If that didn't occur, we would have said this was absolutely fantastic so hopefully that doesn't happen to you!
