We stayed 6 nights at Alexandre's loft in Paris. We arrived at the exact time of his associate Marc who was meeting us and he was very nice and friendly and showed us all the details of at the apartment. He gave us tips and suggestions about things that were close by and how to use the mobile wifi (which was an amazing thing to have use of). The apartment also had in-house wifi. During our stay it was a very hot week in Paris and the tile floors and tall ceilings helped to keep the apartment cooler. The outside temps cooled down at night. Two fans were provided to cool and move the air. We spent most days out exploring. There were small groceries, bakeries, coffee shops, cafes all less than 100 feet from the door of the building. It is a mostly pedestrian neighborhood which was nice to walk around in. The Louvre and the River Seine is about a 15 minute walk. Great location. There are multiple metro stops depending on which way you go nearby. The laundry machine was much appreciated because we packed very light, detergent and softener was provided. We did do a fair amount of cooking for dinner and found all the necessary items were available. There were a lot of maps, brochures and tourist books about the area which helped us plan our week of exploring. We had great stay!
