Both Alix and her flat in Bastille were absolutely charming. It's amazing what Parisians can do to maximize space! We were amazed by the design of the bed. In addition to raising easily to the ceiling to reveal the sofa underneath, it was extremely comfortable. The flat was also immaculately clean and well-kept. The location of the flat was perfect--within a few metro stops to the Louvre, etc. Alix was super-accommodating and genuinely nice, even researching and emailing information on early morning taxis and local cell phone service!

While Rue de Lappe (where the flat is located) has a bustling nightlife, we could not hear any of the street noise once we were inside the securely locked courtyard of the flat. Even with our windows open at night, it was completely silent. So, for guests seeking excellent proximity to the center of Paris and easy access to an energetic nightlife, Alix's Lovely Studio Flat is the place to be!
