Simply a charming, true Parisian apartment that was absolutely perfect for our family's vacation. Three bedrooms, two baths, and a kitchen allowed for plenty of space for four adults and two teens, and gave us a cozy retreat at the end of the day to plan our next day's adventures.
Convenient just doesn't begin to describe it: metro stop literally across the street; grocery store one block away; convenient elevator in the building; fully-equipped kitchen.
Don't make the mistake we did and not explore the Passage du Ponceau when you arrive. There is a cooking school in the Passage that, with 48 hours notice, will conduct a class for you and teach you French cooking!
Alexandre made check-in and check-out effortless. He's a wonderful host, and his apartment was so much more convenient for us than getting several hotel rooms. We really believe that we got a better Paris experience staying in the apartment than we would have in a hotel.
Thanks so much, Alexanfre!
