We were made to feel very welcome and Alain was easily contactable before the trip to help with arrangements. Alain's Uncles (Simon & Tony) were really helpful and charming - they looked after us very well. The apartment was as described and nice and clean. It is situated in a lively area with bars and restaurants and with the Metro just a short walk away. It was noisy and buzzing during the Saturday night we were there but that may have been a one off. It certainly didn't ruin our stay and we had a great meal in the Azteca restaurant below.
