We had a great stay at Alberto's place. He works underneath the apartment, but was not around on our arrival day. Instead he sent us a video pf how to get the keys and get in. Was very easy. The apartment is not big, but it is comfortable and is perfect for a tourist in Paris. We had 4 people in it, and were fine. The beds were comfortable and the AC worked great, which was a big deal because it was in the mid 90s (35 degrees C and up) in Paris when we were there. Alberto was very communicative and responsive to questions. The circuit blew at 11pm and he hopped on his motorcycle to come over and fix it. Outstanding. The neighborhood around the place is cute, with at least a half dozen cafes and restaurants within a 3 minute walk. The Republique metro station is 2 blocks away, maybe a 5 minute walk which is very convenient and provides quick access to everything. Overall, I highly recommend Alberto's place for a stay in Paris.
