My wife and I are now retired and had not been back to Paris in many years although we have stayed in many other international apartments. We chose Alexandra’s apartment based on the great location and many positive reviews. It was perfect for us. We agree with other reviews that this large apartment is quite wonderful, well equipped, away from the street and very secure. Both beds were very comfortable. At our age, the reliable new elevator was very helpful in this historic building. A noisy band mentioned as a lively ‘party’ in another review appeared to be a pop-up night club that was noisy for two nights but closed by the police as we were checking out. We would love to be Alexandra’s guests here again when we return to Paris.
