Unfortunately we didn't meet Alain as he was at work when we arrived however his housemate met with us and made us feel very welcome. The room was great, very spacious and it had everything we needed. We also had the bathroom to ourselves which was a bonus too. Overall the place was great and kept nice and clean. The apartment is about 15/20min walk from the centre, luckily the weather was great so the walk was fine. There are also several places to have breakfast in the area or to grab a coffee too. Would recommend staying here for sure!
