We enjoyed our time staying in Alexandre's apartment. The apt is clean, comfortable and new. We did not hear any street noise. Alexandre is very nice and responsive to any questions. The apt is in a really good location, with plenty of metro stations available to get just about anywhere. There is also a great supermarket (Monoprix) just 2 blocks down from the apt and even a great bakery just down the street. I will definitely stay in Alexandre's apt next time I come to Paris.
