We had a wonderful time in Alain's apartment. The flat is in walking distance to many tourist attractions and is also perfectly located for discovering the many shops of the Marais or a walk along the Siene...Not to mention the many wine bars, cafes, crepes and falafel! Alain was flexible with our schedule and met us right after we arrived in Paris to show us the details of the apartment. Despite the central location, the apartment is very quiet, and we slept soundly in the comfortable bed, and loved living among his amazing book collection. Highly recommended!
