Alex and his lovely place were by far the best Airbnb experience I've had to date. You simply could not ask for a better host or apartment! Alex is an incredibly thoughtful host. Communicating with him prior to the trip was easy and a joy because he is so responsive and always polite - and when you finally meet him in person he just comes across as such a nice guy! He gave us plenty of information in advance, got in touch before our trip to confirm arrival details, was accommodating with check in and out times, and even texted us mid-trip to make sure all was going well. It was also clearly evident from the little things around the apartment that he has given much thought to the comfort and convenience of his guests - a washer/dryer that came with detergent pellets, umbrellas in the closet, drinks in the fridge, an ironing board and iron, bath products, towels. And all good quality stuff too. The apartment itself is amazing. Spacious, very clean, and well designed. Bed was so comfortable and well-working heaters in the living room, bedroom and bathroom were highly appreciated in a very cold January week. The location was perfect too - we walked from the apartment to Le Marais, the Latin Quarter and to the Louvre but if you are less a fan of walking, there are also 3 different metro stations very close by. The only small thing was we had a bit of noise from the street below as there are restaurants and a bar downstairs. But it didn't bother us as we were usually so tired from the walking that we slept as soon as our heads hit the pillows! This was our first trip to Paris and we can't wait to come back again to this beautiful city. When we do we'd no doubt want to stay at Alex's place again.
