Alex was a good host as he checked us in personally when we arrived to Paris. He explained how the apartment worked and gave us some information on the city and transportation system.
Pros: Alexander’s place is a 5 minute walk to the Eiffel Tower and short taxi ride to other major attractions. The apartment itself is inside a safe building which is conveniently located next to a grocery store, bus stop and bakery.
Cons: If you are a light sleeper do not book as it is located next to a busy street which is very noisy starting in the early morning. There is also no A/C.
Overall I decided to book this apartment due to the location and availability as a short notice trip to Paris.
