Alexandra is a really lovely host. Her flat is in Le Marais, which in my opinion, is the best neighborhood to stay in while in Paris. She's really friendly and her husband Pierre is charming as well. I enjoyed the private room and bathroom en suite. When I wanted to engage with family I was welcomed, but privacy was never an issue. Alex and Pierre have two toddlers, both very cute and energetic. I certainly didn't mind, but for someone who prefers not to be around small children during their stay, this may not be the best option.
