Hi im Arlene. I am 38 years old and from Scotland but now live in Paris. I have been here for quite some time (yikes its been 5 years :0 ) and im embarrassed to say that i do not speak french yet. My job required me to speak only in english and i worked a lot, therefore i had no time or, to be honest, any motivation to study. I have changed job and desperately want to learn french and fast!
About the accommodation- I have a tiny studio approx 16m2, in the 15th Paris. I only spend some of my time there as i live mostly with my boyfriend. It is close to everything that you would want to visit, and plenty of options to get around the city whether its by metro, bike, bus, motorbike etc oh and there are electric scooters ;)

I am respectful of others and i would expect the same from my guest. They must take care of the appartment and respect the house rules. I am generally a very positive person and try to help others when possible. I like to keep things organised, clean and tidy but i am able to have a lazy day now and again too ! :)
