Alexandre’s apartment is just like on the pictures! Cute, Well kept and stylishly decorated. Also, for Paris, it is really quiet in the Apartment, even if you open the window.
the bus line and the Metro to the city is basically right outside the door and there is a grocery and bakeries only a few steps away which was really nice.
The neighbourhood is a bit rough, as areas outside the city centre in Paris tend to be. We would not have felt comfortable walking home late at night as two women. But with the bus and metro right in front of the door it was okay.
Alexandre was a great host, always happy to help and he gave us a lot of things to do and tips before and during our trip!
