Linda is a kind and helpful woman; I feel she genuinely cares for her guests, and even for their dogs who are also permitted.
The courtyard is the greatest blessing as it offers greenery, relaxation, coolness on a hot day, and a place for the dogs to hang out.
The location is close to the metro, only a five minute walk on quiet streets. There are shops close by, but they may they tend to be more basic. No nice cafes or boulangerie to hang out in near by.
The beds were comfortable and the bathroom well equipped and clean.
Linda was good about holding on to baggage if needed and was trusting with her property and keys. The place is very well locked and safe.
The kitchen is not well equipped for cooking or eating, but it does have a fridge and sink.
Unfortunately, the place smelled of cigarette smoke and mold and that was a bother for me.
