We loved our stay at Alain's apartment in Paris. He was very accommodating, allowing us to drop off of our luggage before we checked in and pick it up after checkout, so we could enjoy the city a bit more without dragging suitcases along! Apartment was clean and nicely decorated. Simon, who assisted us with the check in was extremely friendly and helpful. Location is near many restaurants, shops, bars, etc and just a few blocks from the Louvre and public transport. Great playground just across the street as well, if you're staying with children. Highly recommended!
