Alix and Patrick were extremely accommodating hosts, especially since I got mixed up on our arrival date. As soon as I let Alix know, she was flexible and was able to make it work ahead of our arrival, making for a smooth transition to Paris after a long trip.
The apartment was extremely well-situated, right on the #1 Metro line, which was literally steps from the front door and allows you to go pretty much everywhere, and a block and a half from the Gare de Lyon.
The only drawbacks were that the apartment was a bit small for the four of us, and the climb up the stairs was a bit tiring over the four days, but I'm sure we got stronger because of it!
I never met Alix, but her partner, Patrick, met us and handed off the keys, giving us tips about the apartment and the area.
