Alexandres apartment is a perfect respite in busy Paris. The location is fantastic, both when getting to/from the airport but also to get around Paris. Subway and RER trains, as well as buses, are 2-4 minutes walk away, and you're literally steps away from major sights like the Notre Dame.
We arrived at a slightly unfortunate time and neither Alexandre or his mom were there to meet us. Still, Alexandre arranged for the concierge of the apartment building to welcome us and show us around. Even though she did not speak much English, she was a joy to meet and she very much made us feel welcome (my knowledge of French helped). Alexandre himself was also very communicative around our arrival to make sure we got to the apartment safely.
The apartment itself makes very good use of the small space. It has a fully functioning kitchen with a nice bar that we made good use of for both breakfast and relaxing at the end of the day. We appreciated the actual bed (as opposed to a fold out etc.), although it was on the firmer side, and the bathroom was very nice.
During our stay Alexandre's mom made it a point to stop by and ask how we were doing. This really shows how Alexandre and his mom cares for their guests, and it is indeed genuin. Her homemade evening treat made us feel very welcome and special.
All in all, Alexandres apartment is a terrific base for your ventures in Paris and we would definitely stay here again on our next trip.
