We had a great time in Alexis' apartment! The toys, books and crib were great for our 3 year old. We enjoyed having breakfast on the small balcony with a great view. Although the apartment is right next to a metro line, the windows were very soundproof- we didn't have any issues with street noise when the windows were closed. One thing to note, there is a door code to access the building, then a separate code for the elevator. This made the apartment feel very safe and secure, but is information that you need to have handy when coming and going. The location was great- 15 min walk to the Eiffel tower and near many different cafes and grocery stores. We would love to stay again sometime!
