Alexandra and her mom were some of the greatest hosts I've had the pleasure of dealing with. Even though check in was at 4 pm, they allowed us to drop off our bags hours ahead and stored them in their own apartment. They also let my wife use their own bathroom which was very nice. We also found a handwritten message with all of our names welcoming us. They had left us some water bottles and even bought us some chocolate croissants.
The apartment is up 6 flights of stairs but it wasn't a big deal for us, (it may be to someone with knee problems), it helped burn off some of the calories we ate throughout our trip. There's a wonderful bakery directly next to the building with some awesome pastries. The view from Alexandra's place is amazing. You can see a lot of the landmarks, including the Eiffel Tower which shimmers at night. It is walking distance to the Louvre and is situated right next to the Solférino metro station which made it so easy to get around.
We had a wonderful time. Alexandra and her mom are super nice and we felt right at home. We definitely recommend this little nest to all.
