Alex is the sweetest host I have witnessed so far in my Airbnb experience.
My flight was canceled and therefore my arrival time was postponed. I contacted him via an internet-based app and he responded immediately, assuring me that my changed arrival time is no problem. This certainly was very helpful. My luggage got lost and not knowing anyone in Paris, I provided his phone number without his knowledge. Once I arrived at the apartment, a few hours later than anticipated with no luggage, he was very understanding and said he would help me out wherever he could. I had no clothes, no toiletries and he offered even some of his personal clothes until my luggage would arrive. The communication with Alex was stellar!! Thanks again!
The apartment is cute and has everything one needs when visiting Paris. You will not spend much time at an apartment when you are in Paris, so it is very basic, but it has everything you need. The balcony is a gem!! The view is magnificent. You can see the Sacré-Cœur basilica from his window. The street the apartment is located is vibrant and so beautiful. There are plenty of grocery stores, shops, restaurants, cafes and all of the best of Montmarte. Public transportation is also just great! There are two main metro stations accessible within a few minutes. Yes, the apartment is located on 7th floor with no elevator, but many Parisian apartments are situated like this. I actually enjoyed walking the 7 floors because it would work off the croissants and all the goodies I was eating. Plus, Montmarte is full of stairs anyway, so to me this is not a problem at all. I would book with Alex again.
