Alexis was a great host, very friendly and helpful. The flat was lovely but a little smaller than I expected. The area seemed ok, pretty easy to get into the centre. the flat had pretty much everything you could want, mocrowave, hair dryer toaster. There was a TV but no English channels or dvd so I would advise to bring a laptop if you want to watch films etc in the flat. Good storage space. Comfortable sofa bed. Be warned 6 flights of stairs and no lift so pack light! (Good exercise though) a few nice bars around and some supermarkets nearby.
