Alexandre was there waiting for me when I showed up even though I was quite late, which I really appreciated. His apartment is fantastic -- a great location, very spacious, and it felt very "Parisian" (albeit, I'm no expert :D).

Alex provided me with great recommendations for places to eat (Les Climats was amazing!! and I loved brunch at Cafe De L'empire) and wander (the right wing of Le Musee D'Orsay gave me chills!).

I didn't spend very much time in the apartment (in fact, I didn't see Alexandre after check-in, though he was available if I needed him via his cell phone) but when I was there I was very comfortable and happy. The balcony was particularly special.

I hope to stay at Alexandre's place again.
