Alain is a warm, generous host. This place offers exceptional value - the metro is right outside and there are plenty of supermarkets, restaurants and other facilities right on your door step. The metro is convenient, but if you want it is only a 20 minute stroll to Notre Dame and other attractions.
Alain was exceptionally clear in advance communication, and was so lovely with beautiful French pastries and coffee every morning. He provides you with a rail map on arrival, and there is lots of other information in the apartment.
The room is very spacious, with a large double bed, and a balcony with views of the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame!
I can't recommend this place highly enough - beautiful way to stay in Paris with a local.
