We had a WONDERFUL time at Alexandra's place. Alexandra is welcoming & charming. We didn't realize how close we would be to Centre Pompidou. There are so many cafes and restaurants that it was hard to choose. One night she recommended an Italian style restaurant that was away from the hub bub and it was fabulous. We spent most of one day at the Pompidou and really enjoyed it. Metro stations is an easy walk and everything you could want is nearby. Bedroom is small but perfectly sufficient. Despite closeness of night life, night sounds didn't bother us, possibly because we stayed out as late as most other "party" folks, even though we're a bit older. Would go back in a minute!
