Alix is a very friendly and helpful host. The apartment is small, but has all the amenities that one might need. Despite the fact that it's located in a bustling neighborhood (which I found fascinating), the apartment itself is in a quiet courtyard and guests don't get bothered at all. The location is superb. The apartment boasts a real bad, which is a great plus. We were happy with our stay at Alix's place and will probably come back!
