Gérard is an amazing host. We hit it off from the very first instance. The communication was quick and instructions precise. The neighbourhood is well connected by public transportation. However, you will need to walk about 10 minutes for better restaurants and bakeries or take the #38 bus or subway.. The apartment faces rue de la Chappelle. It's colourful and very busy throughout the day. Notwithstanding, if you close the window, you hear nothing. The best part about my stay was Gérard. We shared most meals together. I enjoy very much our conversation on various topics from immigration, labour issues, retirement and even day trading. Gérard is truly a gentleman. He prepared daily breakfast and even invited me to ice-cream around Place Pompidou and lunch on the day of my departure. I highly recommend this listing.
