My stay at André’s place was okay. It’s an ok price for what you get (you get what you pay for). André is a welcoming, communicative host who sincerely wants to make guests feel comfortable. I’m not from the area, but overall the neighborhood felt safe. The house is in an ideal location if you want to be near the metro station. It’s an older house so the walls are thin... All the rooms are right next to/across from each other down a small hallway, so there isn’t much privacy if you’re talking on the phone or watching tv. That also means that it’s easy to be woken up by housemates making noise or talking in the morning. **Beware: you will be sharing a bathroom with 5 other rooms!**
