Exactly as pictured, Alain’s place is elegant, clean, and comfortable. Located right in a small alley just at the corner of champs elysees, very strategic but not too noisy (just don’t open your window while you’re sleeping). Also, as an Asian and a Moslem, i love this place even more as there is a very tasty chinese food and kebab just next door. However, if you got plenty of luggages you might want to reconsider this place, as it takes 40 steps of stair to get to the apartment (I already know this & didn’t mind).
Also, some funny/unfortunate story of why I don’t rate this place as 5 stars: I came while Alain was away and long story short, we didn’t get the key until the 2nd day of our stay, so we had to check into another hotel for a night. Luckily I was with family so we got extra cash, but I would end up on the street if I was alone. Anyway, after he was reachable Alain was so professional about it that he refunded our first night promptly. Hopefully my story can serves as caution for both the host and the guest!
