I loved this apartment. You can see the Eiffel Tower from the couch and bed. The main windows face the canal, so no neighbors across the street peering into the windows. I especially liked the fact it is so close to many great tourist spots but still at arm's length away from the tourist rat race. Aligre Market and surrounding shops are nearby, perfect for grabbing a picnic lunch. The Promenade plantée is also very close and worth a visit if you want to get away from the tourist area. Communication with Alain was seamless. The bathroom and kitchen are very basic and small, but very sufficient for a week's stay. This apartment is a great value for the money.
