We stayed at Alex’s place for two main reasons, we needed three bedrooms and we needed close proximity to Gare du Nord and Gare d’lest train stations. The place was well situation a block or two from both. Alex has a lovely little brassiere down the road and offers his guests a discount if dining there, the food was great and we dined there 3 nights and for breakfast. The apartment was spacious, and being partially below ground we found it very quiet, stepping away from the hustle and bustle of the busy area outside. Overall an enjoyable stay.
