This apartment is a great location for Paris visitors who don’t want to break the bank. There are lots of cafes, restaurants, and shops in the immediate area. The transport strikes were going on while we stayed here so we couldn’t use the Metro, otherwise I think we would have felt a lot closer to the main attractions in the city. The 5 flights of stairs are exactly what you would expect, so that has to be something you’re comfortable with. It didn’t bother us. Alexis’ space was stylish, comfortable, and clean. He was very responsive to being contacted about anything before or during the stay.
