Alexandre was most helpful and welcoming. His apartment in the 11th arrondissement was situated in a lively neighborhood with many bars and restaurants, small shops and patisseries. For a real home in a real neighborhood in the real Paris, this apartment is spacious and convenient. If you want luxurious accommodations in a tourist area, this is not it; if you are looking for "la vie Parisienne", you will not be disappointed. Merci beaucoup pour votre accueil très chalereux, Alexandre!
