Alex was home when I arrived, welcomed me and showed me everything I needed. The room and bathroom were very clean, bright, and pleasant. There was a heater and dehumidifier in there too, so even if I closed my door, I could keep it warm (and dry out after a rainy day). The cats and kids are adorable- but you can have privacy and quiet in the little suite. The whole family is great, used to having guests- and you can use the kitchen and living room as needed.

Much recommended, especially for Americans visiting Paris! Alex gave me maps, suggested restaurants, lent an umbrella, etc. A perfect stay!
