Alberto was a great host! He welcomed us when we arrived, had drinks and treats for us, let us leave our luggage in his shop after check out before we headed to the airport, and was available if anything was needed during the week. The apartment was smaller than expected, but worked fine for the four of us. The main bedroom faces the street which has traffic noise, which earplugs block out. The apartment was a couple blocks from 2 different metro lines, or if you like to walk, it was about 1 mile to the river. There was a boulangerie (bakery) 2 doors down and a Monoprix (grocery store) 1 block away. Many restaurants nearby. Very convenient! I would absolutely recommend staying here!
