Our stay was incredible and we highly recommend staying here!Alexandre is an amazing host. He provided a welcome packet before arriving and was waiting for us upon arrival to give us a warm welcome and thorough tour of the spacious and clean apartment. He gave recommendations on places to visit and how to get around the city. He even provided a wi-fi hotspot that we carried with us around the city each day. Two specific instances of him going above and beyond, include:
1) We packed lightly knowing that we would have access to a washer and dryer. When we arrived and learned that the washer was having problems, we were a little nervous. Alexandre spent hours trying to fix the machine before informing us that he would actually be purchasing a new washer and installing it ASAP. He installed the new washer and it was incredibly helpful to be able to wash and dry clothes from day to day.
2) We accidentally locked ourselves out of the apartment due to a miscommunication on our end. It was entirely our fault. When we reached out to ask for help, Alexandre dropped what he was doing in the middle of the day and came to the apartment within thirty minutes to help us get back in. His communication was superb and he made our stay worry-free - which is especially important when visiting a foreign city and not knowing what to expect.
The location is perfect, with easy access to bikes, scooters, and public transportation to anywhere in the city. There are delicious restaurants nearby and we all looked forward to waking up each morning and enjoying a delicious meal right outside our front gate. We spent most of our time outside exploring the city and there is a perfect little grocery store within 20 seconds that we stopped at each day to buy snacks and drinks to carry with us around town during the day and to snack on before bed each night.
Even though the apartment is right in the city, the apartment is tucked back on a beautiful street where cars cannot drive, so it is very quiet and peaceful.
We didn’t use the TV much, but a nice TV setup is available for guests to use.
New beds were also installed during our stay and we were nervous at first because we actually enjoyed them before they were replaced and were worried that they wouldn’t be as comfortable. Fortunately, they were even more comfortable and made for a great night’s rest each night. All four of us commented on how well we slept each night.
We feel fortunate to have stayed in Alexandre’s apartment. It made our trip to Paris even more memorable and we hope to visit again soon.
