Alain's place is exactly what I was hoping for. I could not imagine a better place to stay. I really felt like It was my home in Paris. Alain left a nicely detailed binder with everything you need to get accustomed to the apartment.
I would suggest that you pack light as there is not a whole lot of closet space and, as previous reviews have stated, you will have to haul up 6 flights of stairs.
I don't know how easy it would be to rent a car if you stay here because you are near a major tourist attraction but I would recommend renting a scooter since you can park just about anywhere and for free. But most people would end up using the public transportation anyways.
Fantastic place. Clean, safe, and simply awesome views throughout the apartment.
