Alexandre’s place is a true gem. For our family of 6 (4 kids: 14, 11, 7, 3) it matched what we needed - from the market across the street, and nearly every metro line within walking distance, and a stroller offered to help us with our youngest.
At times the flat smelled of smoke from the neighbors but it easily aired out with a window open a short period. Also unfortunately Alexandre’s neighbor above had a leak right before we arrived that soaked into one wall and the floor in one area. This did not bother us at all however Alex offered to provide a small refund for the trouble. He is a gracious host and goes out of his way to ensure you enjoy your stay in his flat and in Paris.
