Alexis’ place was fine, it had everything we needed for our week in Paris - the kitchen and bathroom toiletries were very well equipped and the balcony was lovely when it wasn’t raining! It is also close to several metro lines, it was easy getting the bus from gare du nord and there are lots of little places to eat and drink locally. Check in was easy and Alexis was great on communication on arrival. However, the room was a bit musty and there was quite a bit of dust and some mould marks which isn’t ideal for someone like myself who suffers with dust allergies and respiratory problems. The stairs are also no joke! Don’t forget anything because you’re not going to want to climb those more than once a day, they really are quite hard work - the rooftop view is worth it though :)
