This was our first trip to Paris, and Alex's apartment was a wonderful beginning. It has all the old world vintage charm of a magical city, as well as all the modern comfort you could wish for. We were not aware of the geography of Paris, and were enthralled to find that we had a fantastic view of the Eiffel tower within a 3 minute walk from the apartment. And it only took 20 minutes to walk down to the Eiffel tower. Furthermore, we were able to easily navigate Paris by public transportation from the apartment. Alex was in touch with us from the moment we arrived in Paris and Alex was beyond generous!
