Alexis’ place is a great base for exploring the hustle and bustle of Le Marais and Les Halles. Located in an old building with a lot of character, the place has it charms, but also some things you would expect in a very old building (e.g. tilted floors), plus it can use some more tender loving care in terms of cleanliness and layout. Some of the furniture in the listing photos is no longer there, and few things seem to have been thrown together— in other words, the place can be much better with a little more attention to detail.
All in all, Alexis was super responsive and very nice — his brother helped us carry the luggage up the 3 floors and it’s very narrow staircase, which was very nice of him. And again, the location can’t be beat for restaurants and nightlife right outside your door.
