Alain' s place was a perfect apartment to stay in on our short trip to Paris. It's close to the Louvre and Metro, 5 minute walk! The apartment is tucked away on a lovely street with a few bars and restaurants around the corner. We were always returning late a night and always felt safe in the neighborhood. I recommend this place for short stays in Paris. We have been to Paris 6 times and this apartment was exactly what we were looking for.
