Alexandra’s place is a value and good for a short stay. It is not in Le Marais but is pretty close to it. The area is a little touristy and can be a little loud in the evenings. It is walkable to really cute neighborhoods. The building is secure and safe. Outside of the building can be a little sketchy late at night but that is just city life. Since I was traveling alone I walked everywhere during the day and travelled by Uber at night. Uber is easy and affordable in Paris. The location of Alexandria’s place made it easy.
The apartment itself is a good place to sleep and that is about it. It is basic. No big views, amenities, special architecture, etc. Why come to Paris though, if you don’t plan to be out!:) The location allows you to explore and easily get around.
