Simon is very kind and helpful. I appreciated how quickly he replied each time I had a question.
Because he had no tenants immediately before or after our stay, he let us check in early and check out late — very convenient for us.
We had never stayed at an AirBnb where the host lives. We appreciate the trust, and especially leaving us enough coffee / tea / drinks in the fridge, and some snacks. The only thing that could be inconvenient is having only one key to the place but he did say the building manager could keep the key within certain hours.
Conveniently accessible to 3-4 Metro stations, a hip neighborhood vibe, boulangeries to choose from, several cafes / bars and brasseries, grocery store and street market also close by.
