My wife and I stayed with Alex for 4 nights on our trip to Paris. Check-in was a breeze. We arrived in the morning and Alex was kind enough to allow us to drop our bags off prior to check-in. The room was very clean and had an en suite bathroom, which was very convenient. There is also a nice balcony off the bedroom which provides a beautiful view and place to sit and have your morning coffee. We will definitely stay with Alex again on our next trip to Paris!
