This apartment is a gem in a superb part of Paris, made all the more special by Alain and Dora’s warm hospitality. Alain was there to meet us and show us around the apartment. It is compact but makes clever use of the space, and is well equipped. There is a little street noise, but nothing we found intrusive - it’s a large city after all! Occasional noise from the apartment above was brief. Alain is a wonderful host, who was easy to contact and replied promptly each time. He checked to make sure we didn’t need anything a couple of times during our stay. His recommendations were excellent and show his great knowledge of the area - you could not find a better host! Many restaurants nearby, including two directly opposite - the Moroccan was delicious. An excellent base for exploring Paris with ready access to the Metro and the RER to Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports.
