Alain was quick to communicate with us, from coordinating when to meet to our desire to extending our stay a couple more days.. This apartment was just a few minutes walk from the louve, Metro access restaurants and a supermarket. The room was clean and tidy, and had great basic necessities(some of which are found in the drawer under the sink! Things such as extra toilet paper blow drier etc ... which we didn't find till later! Lol) Just a heads up, you have to climb about 3 flights of fairly narrow and winding staircase so be prepared to carry your luggage up them! We loved our stay here and would most definitely come back to stay with Alain.
