Great little spot in Republique/La Marais. My husband and I were in transit in Paris for one night before heading to Mauritius for our honeymoon. We are from downtown LA, and found this spot last minute, when we decided we wanted to spend one night/day in Paris for dinner and exploring. Alex is a very nice and welcoming host, and her room was perfect for us for the night. We slept and were on our way but it was a comfortable and clean night. Yes its a private room but it is very private and secluded in a top level separate area of the house. Yes its cozy and tight, but this is Paris , embrace it! Everything here is! We had a nice chat with Alex and her children are lovely!
