Alexandre's place is a real find. It is conveniently located within walking distance from gare du Nord, Montmartre and South Pigalle, one of Paris' hippest neighbourhoods, while calm and protected from traffic noise. The flat itself is tastefully furnished, actually bigger than it appeared on pictures. It is typically Parisian, with tiles in the stairwell, original wooden floorboards and views on the grey roofs and the horizon from the bedroom. Alexandre is a lovely and helpful host, who knows the area well and can help to discover off the beaten paths gems. As a former inhabitant of this neighbourhood myself I am looking forward to returning to Alexandre's flat for future visits to Paris!
