The living area of Alexander was nice, light and open. I did not have face to face contact with Alexandre (my boyfriend arrived before me and picked up the key), but we could reach him by whatsapp which was good. He provided us with information about the neighbourhood (nice restsaurants etc) as well as information about Paris, by the means of tourist guides and a print out of the area. I did not miss the fact that there was no tv, there was enough to see and to explore in Paris.
