Away from the craziness of the tourist zones, but easily accessible by bus. Sacha doesn't live at the building, but is very available. He operates the place like a small hotel. When I had a problem with another guest leaving the bathroom covered in water (did he bath on the floor and not the shower?), Sacha immediately responded to my concerns and put down extra mats to handle the wetness.
He's renovating the building and upgrading. Currently, the shower needs a huge upgrade. The shower pan was moldy. It's a quaint building with nearby inexpensive restaurants, pastry shops and grocery stores. Good value for the money.
