I had the pleasure of staying at Manu's place for two weeks. The location is absolutely amazing, both in terms of dining/going out options and public transportation. The room was simple but had everything I needed, and the shared space was kept clean. I did not get to spend much time with Manu, but every time we did, he was very pleasant, communicative and helpful. Highly recommended for those who want to enjoy all that the 11th has to offer without the "frills" - the arrondisement is not about the frills, anyways. Merci beaucoup, Manu!
