In general we had a good time at Alain's apartment. It's location is absolutely perfect with lots of restaurants, bars and shops around and just a couple block from nice parks. It can be a bit noisy sometimes because it's right at the main street, but it was not an issue for us. Transportation is quite convenient, since there's a bus stop right by the door. Communication was also great, with Alain being really responsive.
On a more negative side, we arrived from a long trip and there was no shampoo as mentioned on the ad, just as pots and pans, which was really disappointing for us because we stayed for 10 days and we couldn't cook at the apartment. For a short stay, the place is great, but for a long stay, having the cooking basics is essential.
