Alain et Dora's place is very unique with an interesting overall style and lovely art work. It's a small place but I guess no one comes to Paris to stay in the whole time (!) and it worked well for us as a small family of 4. It was definitely comfortable. Alain et Dora's communication was excellent and they responded quickly and provided helpful information at all times. The area is fairly noisy but that's to be expected in a central area of the city. I would definitely recommend this place in a vibrant area of Paris, close to the metro, shops and fabulous eating establishments.
