Stéphane has welcomed me in his apartment with great hospitality. He took the time to introduce me to the neighborhood and city. He is very open-minded and interested in people from different cultures. We get along very well and for me as a student it is a very nice place to stay for a long time. Stéphane invites you for doing things together which I think, is very important to anyone who is new to Paris. This makes you feel welcome as a stranger in a city which may be, at times, overwhelming.
