The flat looks exactly as in the pictures. you will definitely not get any negative surprises. Flat was clean, well equipped and especially if you have kids travelling as well you will appreciate all small things available like feeding chair, kid crib, toys etc. It saves you a lot of space in your luggage and the comfort you get is superior to any hotel. As for neighborhood it seemed to be safe, many restaurants/cafes around, shops very close from flat. The metro station is really very close by and you are able to reach any part of city within I would say 30-40 mins. As for the host - Alexandre - i think he would be benchmark for how the owner of property welcoming guests should behave: he is very communicative, responding within minutes/ hours max.; taking care about you from even before arrival (sending you very detailed guide on how to get to place, what to see, where to go to eat etc.) During the stay he was available as well. After arrival you have book with all details needed for you stay that saves you a lot of time of search on internet. The place he recommended to eat were really good as per his comments. Maximum reliability, welcoming approach and always helpful, facilitating all the requirements. Thank you, it was pleasureful experience.
