Casper's place was clean, modern and overlooked a lush courtyard. Overall, my mum and I were quite happy with my stay. However, while I understand he was away for our check in, I would have preferred to have met Casper at some point during our stay. Messaging Casper through Airbnb, contact was at odd times, and I often felt like I was yet another visitor to his place, rather than a guest being invited into someone's home. During our stay, there was also some road works happening next to the Western Union, down the road--this meant that, at 8 am every morning, there was a loud jackhammer noise that rudely awakened you. While it may only be unlucky timing while we had stayed, at least a heads up would have been preferred. Getting to the Metro was very easy, however, and Goncourt easily takes you to the rest of Paris.
