This was our first trip to Paris and we had an amazing time. Alexandre's apartment is very stylish, immaculate, and in a terrific location. The street and area is buzzing with local energy and dozens of amazing french cheese shops, cafés, patisseries and supermarkets (google maps street view does not do it justice at all). 5 min walk to two Hop on Hop Off bus stops (which we find a great way to get around Paris and see the sights).
