We stayed in Alexandra's beautiful apartment for three nights just after Christmas 2017. We were a group of six: a family of two adults and two kids aged eight and 10, and a couple, from the UK and USA.
We all enjoyed our stay in the apartment for different reasons: the sitting room, with its floor-to-ceiling windows, was a great place to relax after a day of sightseeing; the bedrooms were pleasant; the kitchen was well equipped; and the location was great – we walked to attractions such as the Museé d'Orsay and used the nearby Metro stations (Liege and Place de Clichy are less than fives minutes' walk from the flat) when we wanted to go further afield.
The check-in process was very smooth and Alexandra communicated clearly and quickly every time we got in touch to ask a question. She also left some useful restaurant and boulangerie suggestions. If you stay here, be sure to visit Maison Landemain (56 Rue de Clichy, which is a block away from the apartment) for amazing bread, pastries and cakes. we went there every morning! We also loved the Italian restaurant La Puttanesca (11 Rue de Moscow), which is a short walk away.
The only slight downside for some people staying in this apartment might be the fact that Alexandra lives here with her family, so the bedrooms contain the trappings of family life, such as books, clothes etc. We found this charming and it enhanced our visit, but if you're looking to stay somewhere that's plain and simple, Alexandra's place might not be for you!
All in all we had an amazing time in this beautiful apartment and would not hesitate to recommend a stay here to anyone. You will leave with amazing memories of a truly unique stay in Paris!
