Pierre's place was great to stay in. The view from the patio is amazing, and the location was a wonderful base from which to explore the city (it's a short downhill walk to the old-town area, and the neighborhood is quiet and very genuine--it definitely feels like a "local" experience). Pierre's cat was delightful: friendly and low-maintenance. We didn't get to meet Pierre since he was out of town but he was exceptionally good about communications and provided really helpful directions on check-in/out. I'd definitely recommend staying with Pierre!
