My experience at the hostelbrought me so much. I met extraordinary people I plan to travel with, and like many others, I found a second family far from France. The hostel is a little slice of paradise in the middle of the city, and I would recommend it to everyone. Thank you again, Kerrie and Nathan, for your kindness — I'd be happy to come back :)
