I loved my stay at Alvaro's beautiful apartment. Alvaro was a perfect host responding immediately & clearly on everything & check-in was easy. I was visiting a friend who lives very close by and she explained how very rare it is to find such a place with a big courtyard garden , being on the first floor looking out at the beautiful trees. The apartment is totally private, and I enjoyed open windows in the heatwave, with the breeze. Being in a Impasse & facing a courtyard is so quiet and peaceful at night , so I slept very well. This area of Paris is wonderful, as it has upmarket stores, galleries, & many bistro's very close., easy walking to everything. I Highly recommend. Maureen
