Alexandre is the perfect host! I did arrive late, which hasn't been a problem. I even received the best introduction ever. It is reallly his place, which is always Good. I've been in Paris for a fair. Cause of the Gare du Nord in walking distance it was a perfect Location. Lot's of bars around but a very calm living street. Yes its on the fith's floor but therefore you have a balkony and the sky is near. So highly recommended.
