Located near the Temple and Republique metro stations Alberto's apartment is in a quaint building in the North Marais (3ieme) near restaurants and grocery stores- a real Parisian experience! The actual apartment has been modernized with a small induction cooktop and under counter refrigerator, all new. The bathroom is small, but has all the essentials. However, if you are over 6'3" (1.9 meters) or somewhat plump, this might not work for you. There is a new IKEA bunk bed in the 2nd bedroom that is comfortable as well as a full/queen bed in the 2nd bedroom, all with new linens and fresh towels. However, the sound from the street is a bit much if you are a light sleeper in the 2nd bedroom that overlooks the main thoroughfare. Alberto was a great host and answered all of my questions, even went so far as to help us with transport form Charles de Gaulle- overall a very good experience. He speaks French, Spanish and English!
