The apartment is an amazing bargain—located in the Alesia neighborhood, which is a residential area, not touristy. It’s cozy, warm, and clean, and has all the amenities. It’s only a 5-7-minute walk from two different metro stations, so getting around the city from here is easy. My only complaint is the uncomfortable sofa—my lower back wouldn’t let me sit on it for long. But in Paris, who wants to sit on a sofa, anyway? The hosts, although out of the country, were very responsive to our questions. To communicate with the person taking care of things for them, you do need to speak French, as she speaks no English. I will definitely book this place on my next trip to Paris!
