A beautiful and stylishly decorated apartment - exactly as shown in the pictures. The bed was really comfortable and since the apartment is located in the facing the courtyard, it was always peaceful and quiet. The Guy-Moquet metro station is very close (about 3 minutes walking) which was convenient for getting around. Also within walking distance are grocery stores Monop', Carrefour Market and City. A few downsides: bathroom sink and shower were too small which made it challenging to use. Also the hot water did not last very long, but not a big deal if you take quick showers. Although Alex was unable to welcome us himself, his mom was available to help us check-in and out. It was a bit of a challenge getting our luggage up to the apartment (about 50 stairs) when checking-in, but Alex's mom was nice enough to help us. A huge thank you to Alex and his mom.
