Alines place was very cute little three level apartment. The rooms are on the bottom level and she has a terrace on the third. She was very friendly, we comunicanted in Spanish mainly as we did not speak French and English she only knew very little but it worked out just fine. She was so helpful with places to go and things to see she has a binder with so much info. It's about an hour train ride to the sites but there are a lot of good restaurants around her area and it is a lot less touristy.
