As hosts, Patrick and Benoit were responsive and exceptionally tasteful caretakers of the space. We certainly enjoyed their hospitality.
Two things to consider: the timing of your stay and the neighborhood. The space itself was perfectly nice - all the amenities you would need for an extended stay - but it didn't withstand the cold as well as hoped. Also, there were times when the neighborhood felt unsafe - and it was further unsettling when we heard news of a stabbing less than a mile away that occurred at Gare du Nord the night before we departed. Overall, a fine space with good hosts, but consider your safety preferences as well.
