i must say Alister's place is very comfortable and near to all modes of public transports. it is great having to experience how local Parisians live in such flats, and it does make the stay ever more magical. it is also quiet at night, which i really appreciate. his flat is at the 2nd floor, so you'd have to carry luggages up the stairs, which isn't much of an issue to me.
definitely recommended to stay at Alister's place! :)
