First off, Alexandre was a tremendous host. He was quick to reply any messages and special accommodations for check in and our stay. The apartment is perfect and centrally located within walking distance to many attractions in the city and close to several Metro stations. The apartment has a lot of character and very bright during the day with friendly residents in the building. The building is old, but most of Paris is and I found it charming. The only caution which is no fault of the host is for those with small children. There is a bar ‘Le Distrait’ directly below the apartment which can be quite loud leading up to 10:00 PM when bars and cafés must comply with Paris’ noise restrictions. The exception being Friday when there were many patrons outside beneath the flat, so it may not be best for travelling with young children. I loved it though and would definitely stay there again or one of Alexandre’s other units. Had a fantastic stay!
