Alix's place is terrific for a trip to Paris. We love the 14th and always try to stay in this quartier. Her place is close to the 13 metro line, but also charming spots, like the Place Flora Tristan. It's a 6th floor walk up, but that just means you work off all the bread you're eating from the local bakeries. It can sometimes feel strange to stay in a place where the host actually lives most of the time -- but Alix sets it up so you feel welcome and comfortable. And her cherry blossom tea is delicious! Especially on a hot summer day (after 6 flights of stairs).
