Expect excellent communication from the very start. Alexandre has put a lot of work into providing specific information that's oriented around his guests and I felt that it was spot on. The apartment was very quiet (which is always a priority of mine), same with the neighborhood, which offered lots of various options for cafes, bars, grocery stores, and boulangeries. The apartment was never far away from a metro station that could take us to all points of Paris, and it was equidistant from two public bike share stations, which was an unmatched way to see Paris. Also, the ability to wander over to Père Lachaise whenever we wanted to was a nice, relaxing way to visit the cemetery without having to make a big deal out of it.
