Alexis' apartment is a good size for no more than two people. Best for students, couples, or one person. Tidy and furnished modestly, the room itself is small with one bed and two sinks but there is so much to do in Paris we were only in the room to sleep. Climbing six floors is tiresome, especially when hauling luggage, but the balcony and rooftop views are well worthwhile. The location itself is three blocks from the Guy Môquet metro station and by boulangeries, food stores, and pharmacies. The 17th is not toursity and is more working class and gritty than tony and high end. But, both the bus and Metro efficiently and cheaply took us to where ever in Paris we wished. The host, Alexis, was communicative. He met us for check-in and check out was simple. He even cleaned our sheets the beginning of our second week and informed us on new French government Covid-19 restrictions. Overall, I recommend Alexis's apartment those seeking a less costly but comfortable and Parisian experience.
