I did not see Axel as I was met by Bouba a well meaning gentleman who unfortunately had limited English. The area is very lively, with lots of pubs, restaurants/cafes so it's not at all quiet through the night before 3 even though it is situated in a private road and you hear the street cleaners every day at 6. The metro is right at your fingertips making it is easy to get into the city centre and beyond. A more thorough explanation of TV and availability of channels is required. The kitchen facilities are very limited , shower was mouldy and the flat was a bit unfinished in internal fittings, definitely in need of some work. I found exposed power point on floor a problem and a possible danger point.
