Nice, clean apt to stay. Communication with Raul is very easy. I often walked or took the bus #26 to Gambetta. There, you can also find good pastry at the boulangerie nearby. There are several restaurants near by and the grocery store downstair where you can buy produce and water. Buy Navigo Decouvrte pass to save on metro and bus tránportation (unlimited ride for a week). Bring your own passport photo if you want to save €5 when you buy the pass. The shower is tiny and small but it didnt bother me. Raul was very kind to me during my whole stay there. I would highly recommend the place.
