We are beyond grateful for the opportunity to stay in Alexandra’s place. We are pleased with everything and hope to return soon. We are a family of two (mother and teenage boy) and our trip was mostly for business/school purpose. Transportation strikes made commute difficult and we could not have asked for better, more helpful hosts than Alexandra and her lovely family!
The place is on two levels. Downstairs has two completely private rooms, each can host two people, and a bathroom. Shower is very good.
Upstairs is a loft with a large bed for two people and a kitchenette. It is possible to prepare snacks, to have tea, coffee, breakfast, but not to cook. There is a microwave, coffeemaker, all the necessary utensils and supplies. There are very good cafes nearby and a supermarket. Cuppa is especially great for coffee and breakfast, and just around the corner.
The location is excellent, close to most tourist attractions, and to metro, although it was closed due to strikes.
The views from all windows, but especially from the loft, are incredible, especially on sunset.
There are electric heaters that keep the place extra warm (we were staying in December).
Street noise was not a problem , the building is very private and secure.
Be sure to be comfortable with 6 Parisian flights of stairs (117 steps, we counted)
The hosts are very kind, responsive and welcoming. They live nearby, and help with bringing the luggage upstairs.
We did not stay long enough to need laundry so we cannot comment on that. There is one in the building or nearby.
Overall, our stay was excellent, and we hope to return. Recommend highly.
