We had a wonderful time at Alexandre's apartment - it was a very comfortable, clean, up-to-date and homely space. It was especially great for the kids, having a bunk and a cot, lots of toys and a stroller. Nation is a good suburb - both close to the centre of Paris, but filled with all the amenities you need, such supermarkets etc. Alexandre was excellent to deal with - always responding quickly to emails and trying to find a way of accommodating us. He has a great guide to the area, listing all the best bakeries and cafes. Definitely a good place to stay if you want a quiet base, with stunning views of the area and all the home comforts.
