The apartment was clean and all around lovely & Alix's taste in decor made it feel like we were at home in a foreign place! We also loved the area which felt clean, close to the metro for easy transport anywhere in the paris that we wanted to go, and had many resturaunts, shopping options and markets to utilize. There was also an amazing street one road over that, as a photographer, I loved to take pictures on! Alix was wondeful to work with as she was super attentive, had great communication, was helpful with suggestions, and lovely to work with. Check-in and checkout flexibility was beyond anything we could have asked for and having that flexibility made the trip so nice upon arrival and departure (I loved not having to carry around our bags for any extra time and having the option to shower and take a short nap upon arrival from the USA). Such a great location, apartment, and host!
