I stayed at Alexandre's place for 3 wks. I was traveling alone on a working vacation and when I arrived at the apartment I had not had a vacation in 4 years but at the end of my visit I felt completely restored. Just to start I loved the apartment. There is no elevator but the WiFi was great and even though it was my 11th Airbnb it turned out to be my favorite. The reason is because it is a unique sanctuary in the middle of Paris. Just to point out it is not in an area where you will find a lot of tourists but Sacre Coeur is a 20min walk and supermarkets, boulangeries, massage parlors (I had two massages), metros and many restaurants are within minutes so it is in an area typically French with much to see. The apartment is part of a small 'village' as one reviewer called it. On the second floor the French doors overlook the small communal garden and at the other end another window allows for a wonderful cross breeze. There is sometimes the sound of the neighborhood for eg. there's a small preschool (it was not always open) opposite and occasionally the sound of children playing but most of the time it was quiet and peaceful. The bed was comfortable and I slept well. The host Alexandre was always available if I had a question but I was also fortunate to spend some time talking with him before I left and I was very touched by his hospitality and kindness. I highly recommend this apartment and would love to stay here again when I'm next in Paris.
