We found a really nice apartment with lots of space and personal things, which made it really cosy. The neighbourhood is lively with nice bars and restaurants, but in the apartment it is superquiet as to sleep like a rose. Going to the center is easy with the metro, or half an hour drive by bike. Parking is free in the street, and easy to find. We didn't met the host, but the communication went smoothly and she gave us some good tips. I would recommend this place if you don't like unpersonal and sterile places.
