Alexandra's home was the perfect place to stay for a short trip to Paris. The apartment is very close (3-5 minutes walk) to 2 metro stations and very close to a lot of great restaurants and bars. Explore the neighborhood if you get a chance, it's really beautiful. We weren't able to spend much time with Alex and Pierre but we were very grateful for their offers of coffee and drinks. We hope to come back again some day and spend more time in the Marais!
