Alain's place is very central to everything. The metro station is right across the street. Some of the major tourist attractions such as the Notre Dame Cathedral and the Eiffel Tower are within 20-30 minute walk along the Seine. The Seine itself is a 10 minute walk from his apartment. The room, looks exactly as shown in the photogram, has a small balcony from which you have a view of the Eiffel Tower and the Notre Dame Cathedral. Other areas of interest are just a couple of metro rides away.
I enjoyed the daily breakfast of croissant and coffee Alain provided as well as great conversations about the city and places of interest. Alain was truly helpful with showing me how to get around the city. He is funny, kind and generous. His place is really cozy and cute and I definitely recommend it. I would stay at Alain place again. In fact I miss it already...
J'espère rester a votre place a nouveau. Merci beaucoup pour votre hospitalité Alain.
