Alain was as charming and hospitable as one could have hoped for. He sat us down and reviewed the maps that he provided, going through anything we wanted to do and making a couple of suggestions himself. The apartment is lovely and his breakfast of breads and pastries make for a great start to the day (the coffee is especially nice). We would return in a heartbeat, and thoroughly recommend Alain's apartment to anyone wanting to visit Paris. We know we will.
