Ghali was a tremendous host who made sure that we felt right at home, responded to our communications promptly, and was VERY flexible with our needs. He was a fantastic host and this apartment was just perfect for us. There are two queen size beds and plenty of space in the living room to hang out. The washing machine worked well and Ghali had a large drying rack or suggested we put them on the bathroom towel warmers which worked wel. Check out was a breeze; so nice not to have a myriad of instructions as we generally do when renting in the US.
The Metro is right across the street and there is a grocery store and a home goods store half a block away. The crepe place on the corner is nice, but I wouldn't go to either of the sit-down restaurants right outside the door. Comptoir Principal just down the block had a fantastic breakfast and L'Abreuvoir just around the corner had a wonderful lunch.
