Julian is a fantastic host. He create a very cosy home very well decorated. it is definitely a 5 star accommodation with all amenities you can dream of ( Best accommodation I experienced ) The area is very residential with few very good stuff, an excellent pizzeria trattoria, bakery and bar with live music. It take 10 min walk to the metro and another 30 min to be in manathan. I will strongly recommend to stay in a cosy appart in Brooklin than in a small room in marathon.
