As it is in 20th arrondisement, it is far from tourist attractions, either you take metro or taxi. By metro it s more than 30 mins to most places. It s close to metro line 9, although line 9 of Paris has a high risk of pickpocket. Other option is to take metro line 1 but you have to walk 10 mins. Closeby we discovered nice coffee places and french bistrot with very good home cuisine, and some supermarkets.
The design of Alan's place is great, especially the common area. It has very nice natural lights! The extra bedroom with single beds are small though, dont think it s comfortable for the 5th and 6th person. the main bedroom and sofabeds are comfortable. the loft is perfect for close friends or family. The bathroom and toilet is small, sometimes the hot water is running out but it s okay.
Alan gave us extra time to check out as we were with a baby, such a kind understanding!
