A beautiful apartment set in the best location in Paris, is not the only thing I could say about Alexis and his amazing home. Firstly, as a host Alexis took the time to not only greet us but he also provided guide books, food guides and a lovely gift from Italy as a hello and welcome. The apartment itself is modern and stylish, with a 5* boutique hotel feel while still feeling warm and welcoming like a home.
Everything is of the highest quality and the attention to detail is as the French would say cest maqnifique!!. There were 5 adults in total and we never felt on top of eachother. The sleeping arrangements were fine, one bedroom, a sofa bed and one single fold out.
The kitchen is well equipped and there is also an honesty bar, which comes in very handy if you don't feel like looking for the nearest supermarket. The bathroom too is of the highest standard and all towels etc are provided. There are also 2 small balconies, both with lovely views and a small table for 2 to have coffee, lunch, dinner or drinks.
The metro and buses are only a few minutes walk away and the taxi rank is a mere 5 minute walk around the corner. It only took 10 minutes on the 48 bus from Gare Du Nore and cost €2 and then from the bus stop it is a 3 minute walk to the apartment.
For anyone who loves art, the world famous Louvre is across the road and I seriously think you can't get any better than that for a location, the Champs Élysées is around a 15/20 minute walk along with the Arc De Triomphe and The Eiffel Tower nearby.
Finally, Alexis was very helpful in not only going through how to use the appliances etc in the apartment but he also helped us in booking a taxi for our evening out.
A thoughtful host can make all the difference in your stay and based on our stay, I can only say that I would highly recommended booking this apartment over and over again.
Thanks
