Alexandre's place is very spacious, comfortable, and centrally located. We were able to easily walk to shops, cafes, restaurants, metro stations, art museums... Could not ask for a better location! Alexandre was very accommodating despite our delayed check-in (getting through customs was VERY slow) and gave us a mobile wifi hotspot which was amazing. While the apartment is centrally located, it is quiet at night, set back and secluded from the street. Our only complaint was the construction in the courtyard, which started early every morning, even Saturday, right outside the bedroom window. We were very jet-lagged from travel from the US, and were not able to sleep very much because of the construction, even with ear plugs. This may not be a problem if you are already on european time (and get up at a decent hour), but if you expect to be jet-lagged and wanting to sleep in, I would ask Alexandre about construction unless you are a seriously heavy sleeper!
