This was our first visit to Paris and we wanted a central location for walking to as many places as possible. We loved being close to the river, with easy access to the islands, the Latin Quarter, the Bastille, the Louvre. You should know that this lively neighborhood parties late into the night. Luckily the windows, when shut, kept out most of the noise and the air conditioner kept us from suffocating in what turned out to be a historic heat wave in July.
The mattress is great if you like it extra firm.
The kitchen is minimally stocked, which made cooking a bit of a challenge, but there are many restaurants just steps outside your door.
And finally, Alex was the most responsive host we’ve ever had. He usually responded to our questions within minutes, which made everything run smoothly. We had a great time in Paris!
