My husband and I recently stayed at Alain’s flat when traveling to Paris to celebrate our anniversary. From booking to check out Alain was extremely communicative, helpful and friendly. He is great at responding quickly to emails, making local recommendations for restaurants, and ensuring that you have access to everything you need for a pleasant stay. After missing our initial planned flight and having to come a day late, Alain graciously offered to host us for an extra night to make up for the originally booked night we had missed.
Upon arrival, Alain ensured that his friend was there to meet us, give us the keys and show us around while he was at work. Check out was also very simple and seamless. The apartment is small, like most European flats, and it is a 5th floor walk-up, but offers all the Parisian charm you’d look for when staying in the city, including a balcony with small table and chairs where we enjoyed an evening glass of wine regularly, with a view of the city rooftops.
The apartment is about a block from Notre Dame, and there are several great restaurants around the corner that are easily accessible. It’s also a short walking distance to the many shops and restaurants in Le Marais, and adjacent to public transportation.
I would highly recommend this apartment for anyone looking for a romantic hideaway, or charming home base while visiting Paris!
