Every place offers different things for different people. This home offers a nest for the Creative. It’s historical design, city view, and open air offer a place to sit in the awe-inspiring wonder of Paris.
If you enjoy the brilliant sites of Paris: Musée D’Orsay, Louvre, San Chappell, and more— they are all a brief walk down the way. If you are comfortable taking public transit (and strikes aren’t too bothersome) there are plenty of bus lines to visit other sites. But, a walk along the Seine (which is properly visible from your window) is my personal recommendation.
Alex speaks perfect English (though he would deny it) and is full of excellent recommendations for food and drink in the area.
It feels good to know this: so long as Alex’s place is available, I know where I will be staying when I visit Paris.
