Paul’s place is a good stay for a traveller looking for somewhere for a cheap and convenient stay. It’s about a 30 minute metro journey into the city which is actually quite pleasant as it’s cheap and easy to navigate.
Something that anyone considering staying here should be made aware of is that it is a very lively neighbourhood with the locals across the street playing music out of their cars up until about 5am. As much as I enjoyed a couple of the songs and thought the locals wouldn’t be interested in any of my requests it did become a bit frustrating. Please also be aware that we were there for 3 full days in total and there were police there arresting/searching people out of all of those days so the neighbourhood can be a bit hostile at times however the locals didn’t take notice of us and just do their own thing.
All in all, the flat is cool and let’s in great natural light and is good for the summer as the flow of air gets in, it’s close to the station, Paul is a good host and is an affordable stay. But just be aware of the late night street discos :)
