Karl was a very good host and extremely responsive to our needs. When we needed towels, we came the next morning and left them on our counter. The bed was comfortable, and the block we were on was relatively quiet; The neighborhood is just tucked away from a bustling stretch and very close to the Marx Dormoy subway station. Small downside is that we had some issues with small cockroaches that popped up every now and then (mostly in the kitchen, although we never cooked while we were there) and Karl kindly came over and tried to help, advising us to use some bug spray. In the end, the space suited our requirements on this trip.
