There is a reason this apartment often receives very high reviews. Alex is an excellent host who waited for us to arrive on a Saturday night when our tour bus ran late. Yes, you will have to take stairs to the 4th floor but it is well worth it. The space is perfect for a couple. Close to all transportation, attractions, restaurants and supermarkets. Added bonus is that you can open the windows at night and take in the vibe from this nice Paris neighborhood. If not, the windows provide adequate soundproofing. The living room and chairs are excellent to unwind after a busy day of sightseeing. Merci Alex for a great stay!
