Alain's apartment is very nice, just a bit on the smaller side (although larger than most hotel rooms). We made it work for our family with two small kids, but it was a bit cramped. It would be great for a couple. Alain was flexible with check in, allowing us to drop off luggage early, which we really appreciated. He went over everything with us during check in and gave some local tips. The location is in a nice residential area within a 10 minute walk to the touristy parts of Montmartre. There are many restraurants, cafes, bakeries, and small grocery stores all walkable within minutes of the apartment. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend Alain's apartment.
