Alain and Marie have been very nice and welcoming. Alain even picked me up at the tram station. He explained everything very well and gave tips what to see and Paris and how to avoid standing too long in a line... very useful! The room is small but clean and very sufficient. The apartment is very close to public transportation and so very handy to see all different corners of Paris! Only one thing there is to say which would have been nice to know before: Alain and Marie smoke in their flat (although always with open window) so that there is a slight smell of cigarette smoke in the apartment.
