I only stayed at Sebastien’s place upon right before my train at Gare du Nord and even walking there with a huge luggage was not a problem for me, took me 20 minutes by foot. His mother approached me when I checked in and even though she didn’t speak English, she was incredibly sweet and helpful. His sister talked to me on phone and told me all the instructions for check in, and she made sure I understood it completely. Even though I didn’t get to meet him, I can say his family was so helpful to me. They left cookies and biscuits along with tea and coffee for me, which was much appreciated. Bed was huge and really comfortable, bathroom was just as much convenient and clean. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay here and I can easily recommend it to everyone!
