Alex was a great host and I had a fantastic time at their flat. The room is ideally located at one end of the flat giving you space and privacy if you want it, but I found myself very welcome to hang out with the family in the shared kitchen area which was nice. The flat itself is very easy to get to, and is close to a number of metro stations, good restaurants and bars, as well as all the key Paris tourist attractions. All in all a great place to stay - I would definitely go back in future!
