Alexandra's home is a great space for any solo travelers - especially women. The building is very secure and in a well trafficked and pretty decently well lit area - up until at least 11am so you generally won't be creeped out by who may be out and about. The location in my opinion was fantastic. While there were metro stops very close by, I ended up doing a lot of walking to Le Marais, the museums along the Seine, and north of her home. I would definitely consider staying here again!
