Alexandre’s place is well-located, with easy access to the metro and close enough walking distance to some shops, restaurants, and the canal. It was nice to enjoy the balcony in the evening during the heatwave while I was there. I didn’t feel the neighbourhood was dodgy like some other reviews suggested, but it may be more diverse than other more touristic neighbourhoods in Paris. I booked at the very last minute and asked to check in early, which Alexandre was kind enough to accommodate, and he even let me drop my bags before he was able to come and clean it. All in all a great stay! Merci, Alexandre!
