Alain is very accommodating. We originally booked a different airbnb from Alain but due to other circumstances, we had to rent a different one from Alain however the new place was a lot bigger than the original one that we booked. Alain worked with us on getting our luggages into the apartment before we could check in. We were also able to check in earlier than 3PM. The view is amazing and you can see Sacre-Coeur from the balcony. The living space is very big and open and allows you room to move around. The apartment is just a little bit further north of Gare du Nord than what we expected however its a very nice apartment and well worth the money. There are a lot of Asian restaurants around the area with an Asian Grocery store around the corner.
