The apartment in the 20eme was practically a home with a private entrance from the side street. I nearly felt that I was back in the countryside for a second with the quiet patio that ones slips into from the bedroom. Alexis was also a very gracious host. He welcomed me there, showed me around for 30 mins and then gave me his number in Paris in case I had any problems (none whatsoever). The apartment has everything you need from laundry machine to a basement office space that becomes a movie theater at night (unfortunately, didn't get to use it much but plan to come back and watch movies for an entire week!). This will be my go-to-place when I come through Paris again.

Huge thanks again.
