Alain' apartment is located in the bustling Le Marais district of Paris. The apartment is located in a well seculuded courtyard that blocks out all street noise. We slept so well at night due to the lack of road noise and loved how peaceful it was considering we were staying in a busy neighborhood with nightlife.
A few specific things that are especially wonderful about Alain's apartment:
-very good clothes washer and a really large sized clothes drying rack is included which makes doing laundry a breeze (this is especially great if you prefer to minimize your luggage by doing a few rounds of wash throughout your stay)
-the fan provided in the apartment is high powered and really helps with comfort on the days when Paris is hot. We experienced an unexpected late Spring heat wave and were still very comfortable in the apartment due to the fan
-excellent hot water on demand so you do not have to worry about spacing out showers or running out of hot water mid shower
-Alain provides reusable shopping bags in the pantry which are helpful for trips to the grocery stores for hauling your food back to the apartment since bags are not provided at supermarkets in Paris
-excellent central location in a fun neighborhood
Overall, the apartment is quite cozy and a great home base for Paris. It's centrally located and walkable to several noteable Paris landmarks. Alain gave specific instructions on how to find the apartment which made hauling our luggage from the metro a breeze. He was also readily available to answer any questions we had during our stay.
