Alain's apartment was in a perfect location in between the Marais and all of the sights in the 1st (Jardin des Tuileries, Champs-Elysees, etc.) which made it perfect! It's also a short walk across the Seine to the left bank and everything that's to offer there as well.
Whether traveling to see the 'touristy' sights or meander through the Marais (one of my favorites), I would recommend Alain's place to anyone. Check-in was a breeze and the apartment was fantastic. Thanks!
