Alexandre is a great host! Beyond opening his cosy one bedroom apartment to our stay in Paris, he was thoughtful enough to provide us with a list of amenities in the neighborhood like supermarkets, wine shops, bakeries, restaurants and "the best croissant in the world"... And to be greeted with a complimentary bottle of a good french wine was just the cherry on top!
We picked his place initially for the location - very close to Montmartre - and the tip on the scale was the flexibility on checking in/out times.
We were a bit concerned with the five stores/no elevator situation but at the end of the day it was not a problem at all; even after a very long day exploring Paris. After all, if we wanted to experience the feeling of what it is to live in Paris, it was just perfect.
The apartment itself is very cosy and well kept, with all appliances apart from a TV - which we didn't miss. A nice Espresso machine loaded with different coffee pods added a couple of stars since we love our coffee...
The apartment is located near to many metro stations, from different lines, making it very easy to go out and about - and finding our way back, too!
All in all, our trip to Paris was remarkable, amazing and unforgettable - and Alexandre's apartment played a very important role in it.
