Alex's space is very close to the champs-elysees and many local shops and restaurants. While you can be a little far from the central shopping areas of Paris, they are well within walking distance. Plus you'll see a majority of the tourist attractions on the way. By far, one of the best features of the space was the host himself. Quick responses, recommendations near-by, and rapid assistance in a little pinch. Alex is a perfect host offering an amazing space to stay.
