My stay at this large, elegant apartment was most comfortable, felt like my own home. I especially liked that fact that there is zero noise in the bedroom, allowing for a perfect sleep each night!
The large, dine-in kitchen allowed for making breakfast in morning, and a quick dinner at night. The kitchen is fully equipped with whatever you may need. There is also a dishwasher [although I just hand washed whatever I used].
The living room had ample space and TV with both French and US channels, including CNN, MSNBC, and Turner Classic Movies. The study, with a view of the entrance court, allowed me to lay out my papers and arrange my day trips. And, as mentioned, the cozy bedroom was perfectly quiet, with a charming view of an interior garden [not accessible]. Alexandra's artistic touches -- her paintings, and various decorations -- add a special touch to the interior.
The heating system is operated through an instantaneous heater, so the amount of heat is supplied as you need.
Above all, the apartment is centrally located in the Marais, among the most desirable neighborhoods to stay in Paris. All shops you may need are within walking distance, including two wonderful cafes at the top of the street, next to Square du Temple -- perfect!
Finally, Alexandra is a wonderful person, completely charming, and always available for any assistance. I was sorry we did not meet up, as we had almost done, but hope to meet her in future. You cannot ask for a nicer hostess, or location for your trip to Paris!!!
