Alexandra's studio was a charming and comfortable escape from Parisian city life. It was modern, clean, and well-equipped. The apartment was very well lit, and the view of the quiet garden was one I enjoyed waking up to during my stay. This listing represents the 'modern apartment' which is simply not the norm in central Paris. Its proximity to La Villette was important to me, but it is conveniently far from main tourist attractions. Alexandra (who was unable to meet us) left a personalized list of wonderful bars and restaurants which highlighted the trendy, young Parisian life in her arrondissement . It was such a pleasure staying here and getting to know this part of Paris!
