We didn't get the chance to meet Alexandre. His neighbour let us into the flat. The good things: the flat was very spacious and roomy, good location - close to the metro, great wifi, nice views, and we loved the kitchen table area! But the furniture (other than the kitchen area) was very worn, old and smelled like Smoke; not good when you have children with allergies. The pink couch has stains and smelt. We had a nice time. Alexandre likes to communicate but it was after 10pm the 1st night when he called and 12:12 am when he texted the final night and woke us up. There was a misunderstanding about check out; we have Never had a host meet us for check out. He said his girlfriend would be coming around 10am, I replied back we would make sure we were out by 10am and leave all keys and lock the doors (this was at 8:30am). We left at 9:45 (I hadn't heard back again from Alexandre) but a short while later I get a text NOT meant for me but that he meant to send to his girlfriend, saying how the "Vilians" had left. I was really really disappointed. We cleaned the unit and left it perfect. This was disrespectful and very hurtful. I called him to address it but he somewhat dismissed it. I would not recommend this flat or Alexandre as a host. I took pictures to show how the flat really looks.
