I loved this place and our host. Gerald was extremely considerate. On arrival, a couple before us didn't leave in time and left Gerald in a position where we had to wait. So, Gerald just simply straightened up his room and let me nap and settle down in there until he finished up with the couple and cleaning up the apartment.
Pros: the home is extremely convenient to local mom and pop shops, bars, vintage clothing stores and the train station to go to the trolley.
If you are hungry, their is food in the house to have a light breakfast or if you forgot to buy something from the market
Gerald let's you have your privacy if needed and was always available for a chat or advice. He's speak French, Italian and Spanish! And of course English.
The house is soo clean. You'll never know that someone lives in it.

The area is never boring! You'll see. Fun fun fun.
Overall, I'll give this place a 5 out of 5.
