Alain’s place was wonderful. It is in a great part of town that has everything that you need and it is every place you want to be. It is vibrant, close to transportation, amazing restaurants, outdoor weekly market is 1 block away and not overrun with tourists. This is an older building but that is what we loved about it. The building has an elevator which is unusual in older buildings and wonderful for luggage. This place has the most comfortable bed we stayed in during our whole vacation. Great hot water and you can see the Eiffel tower in all of its lit up glory every night from his window. The Wi-Fi is fast, Alain was fast to communicate and answer questions and was very helpful when I accidentally locked the keys inside of apartment. I would love to stay in his place each time I come back to Paris.
