We had a phenomenal stay at Alexandre's apartment. The location is perfect - very close to Bastille station, and you can walk minutes to great coffee, brasseries, restaurants, shops. We loved the Yellow Tucan cafe for excellent coffee. The neighbourhood has a great feel to it. The apartment itself is beautiful - one of the best AirBNB you can imagine. It looks better than the pictures. Stunning light through the windows in the morning for sunrise. My daughter loved reading in the hammock amongst the plants, and loved learning the plants' names! Alexandre was an excellent host, he left us pastries for the first three days at 7.30am (what a start to the day!). He also left us some rechargeable Navigo metro/bus cards. Very responsive with any questions, and helpful additions like a map with good restaurants in the area highlighted. If I had to find one thing to improve, maybe some extra hooks on the back of the bathroom door. Otherwise so perfect! We can't wait to return.
