Alix's studio was absolutely the perfect place for our 7 day stay in Paris. While admittedly small, the efficient use of space made it very comfortable for two people. Particularly handy was the washing machine. The shower was great -- lots of hot water and great water pressure.

The location was energizing. Rue de Lappe is home to many cafes and bars frequented by locals (it seemed to us), but the studio's location near the back of the building meant the accompanying revelerie was muted and sleeping was not a problem. A Starbucks just a block away and two boulageries for morning croissants were frequented, although we also really liked the Nespresso machine in the apartment. There were plenty of grocery stores nearby. Located close to the metro and a nearby outdoor market on Tuesdays and Thursdays made it the perfect spot.

Alix was very gracious and hospitable and speaks excellent English. She was very responsive to our emails and made us feel at home right away.

We loved our time in Paris, and when we return we hope to stay at Alix's clean, lovely, cozy studio again.
