Alix was a fantastic host. The flat is in a courtyard off a street with nightlife, but even on Saturday night the noise of the street could barely be heard from within the flat. Its well stocked and even has some dry goods, and the shower is lovely. Ive never seen a bed system like that and quite enjoyed the ease with which it could be 'put away' for the day. Perfect studio for our three night stay in paris, although note that there are no rails on the bed so if you're prone to tossing and turning in your sleep best sleep next to the wall!
