Our family of five loved staying in Alexandre's apartment in the 2eme arrondissement. We had plenty of space, especially in the combination living room / dining room, and we enjoyed looking out to the small park across the street. The location is great. It's a five minute walk from two metro stops which serve three lines between them. We were also able to walk to many fun spots - the pedestrian area with shops and restaurants around rue Montorgueil, the covered Enfants Rouges market, the Pompidou Center, etc. Alexandre is a terrific host. He met us at the apartment and gave us a quick tour of the apartment and the nearby area (using a map). During our stay we emailed him three times with questions; he always answered promptly. We would recommend Alexandre's apartment to anyone visiting Paris.
