As our first time in Paris, we loved our stay at Alain's place. It was perfect for the two days we were there to explore the city. It's so central in Montmartre, with lots of cafes, restaurants, bars and food stores all around us. It's about a 5 min walk to three different Metro stations, which you can travel on for a few stops into the city to see Paris' famous attractions. (Or you could take the buses as well) Alain' apartment was located on ground level, which is really handy and convenient considering if youre travelling with big or heavy bags, so you don't need to travel up flights of stairs. There's a secure foyer and small courtyard that you need to go through from the street to access the apartment so we felt very safe and tucked away during our stay. The apartment itself is exactly as you see it from the photos. The apartment is small, as most places are in Paris but we felt it was spacious enough as the bedroom is separate from the kitchen and lounge area. The apartment is clean and had all our basic essentials needed and provided. We were very lucky that Alain was able to accommodate checking us in hours earlier as we had an early arrival in Paris and the previous guest had an early checkout. He greeted us with warm hospitality and took his time to show us around the apartment and tell us abit about the surroundings. Overall, a lovely place as a recommendation to stay in Montmartre.
