Alain's place is comfortable, modern and in a fantastic location.
You can expect exactly what you see on the photos in Alein's place. The ceiling and the wall was especially beautiful. The room was clean and comfortable. You can also cook if you would like although we never cooked anything. There are basic equipments for cooking in Alain's place.
I think the biggest merit of his flat is that it is very central. His flat is right in front of Louvre and Tuileries park, 15 minutes walk to Pompidou Center, and also just in front of Seine river. There are very nice restaurants near by and supermarket is within 5 minutes walk. I really liked nice restaurants just across the river from the flat.
If you are looking for a washing machine, I'm afraid Alain's flat does not have one. There is a coin laundry near by though. You would probably like to take detergent with you though because it is 2 euros per two small pack of detergent there. Also Alain's flat is on 4th floor so if you are not strong enough to carry your luggage upstairs, you might have problems with that.
Overall, we had a very pleasant stay at Alain's house. We are very satisfied with the stay in Alain's flat and would like to highly recommend others to stay in Alain's flat.
