Alain was an excellent host. He provided excellent instruction on how to find him, and the apartment. And remained very helpful, and patient throughout my stay.
The apartment itself was in excellent order - clean and comfortable, with everything I needed during my stay. The area was quiet and despite what I had read about the surrounding area being 'seedy', I felt very comfortable. I am a solo female traveller, so this was one of my big concerns.
I will stay here again should I return to Paris!
