Alain's place was very interesting. If you are looking to step out of your comfort zone, I mean really step out of your comfort zone, this is the place for you. Alain was very sweet and nice. When I arrived, he gave me all the information needed and keys to his apartment. He was a great host, fast at responding, and thorough with directions or any information. Every morning he prepared breakfast.
I did feel that the location was a bit far from a lot of the major Paris tourist attractions that I had planned. However, there was a metro station right across the street, so transportation was easily-accessible. I was also glad the neighborhood was pretty lowkey and there weren't a lot of tourists around.
I had a pretty good stay. I was looking to step out of my comfort zone, so this place was great for me. I recommend this place to anyone who is seeking to step out of their comfort zone.
