This was a perfect balance of real Paris living and tourist accessibility. The metro and major attractions are close. The room is large and the bathroom shared - but the flat is huge (and private). You can tell a family has lovingly lived there. I felt transported into 19th century Paris. If I moved to Paris I would want to live here. The flat is older and lived in, a charming combination. It is not luxurious. But the view, the proximity - could not be more perfect.

With luck, I will stay here every time I return to Paris. Thanks Alex!
