We wish we could have stayed at Alexandre's place longer, it was so perfect! The apartment is just as shown in the pics. The neighborhood was fantastic and it was a great home-base for my husband and I and our 15 year old son to start out my son's first exposure to Europe. We stayed 4 days and got to know the neighborhood fairly well. Our son was happy to stay behind in the apartment by himself when he was tired of touring with Mom and Dad. He could also safely wander around the corner to the grocer for some sweets by himself despite not speaking a word of French. Alexandre was responsive to my many questions about how to get to his place and things to do. (One heads up, g00gle maps will send you to the wrong side of the building). I'd estimate the bed is closer to a queen sized bed than a double bed and very comfortable! We had great experiences at a number of the nearby restaurants and bars. As long as you don't mind the stairs - you'll be comfortable here!
