Alain's appartment is really great, everything is brand new and very neat. It's really well located, it has 3 metro/rer stations next to it and also buses that goes all night long. Not to say the luxembourg gardens and the 6éme with it's cinemas, restaurants cafés and libraries. After walking all day long, having a lift up the 6th floor was a luxury.
We were welcomed by Fred, who was very friendly and quickly answered all the questions we might have had. He even left us a welcoming treat.
We have been there during a rainny week, and although Paris is full of indoor attractions the appartment is so cozy that staying home seemed also a great option.
