Alexandre was a great host. He met us in person and gave us a thorough run through of the apartment and provided a tonne of suggestions. He was also super quick at responding to questions and provided us step by step advice to get to and from the apartment. The apartment itself is small with most of what you need, but good value given the location. Lots of food options just outside the door and easy to get to all main sights. We mostly walked, but the Metro is just down the road.
