My weekend in Paris at Alexandras was delightful. They were both very helpful with restaurants, internet connections, and directions - even went so far as to make reservations for me since I don't speak French. The location is terrific, so close to everything with a lovely park right across the street. Good sized room and bath were very comfortable. Even though they have 2 small children - who were very sweet, it was quiet and I had my privacy. The cats are friendly and will hang out as much as you like or stay away if you just close the door. I highly recommend their place for a stay in the Marais.
