Alix was an amazing hostess and her flat was incredibly clean and inviting with a great location in the Bastille neighborhood. It was the perfect place to stay during our 5 day trip to Paris. When we first arrived Alix was there to greet us and give us the keys to the flat. My luggage was lost in transit during a connecting flight to France leaving me with no clothes. Alix was very kind in showing me where the closest clothing shops were. She even helped us communicate with the delivery service when we had difficulties retrieving my luggage. We were incredibly thankful for her help since we do not know French!
If you like to bar hop, her place is located on a street with many exciting bars. This worked out well for us since our trip overlapped with the World Cup semifinal (France vs. Belgium) and Bastille Day allowing us to party like Parisians. There are also a lot of amazing restaurants and authentic French bistros located along the street and in the neighboring blocks. If you are looking to get out of the Bastille neighborhood the metro is conveniently located only a few blocks away. Overall, clean and beautiful flat with a great location and a wonderful hostess. You can not go wrong with staying here.
