We had a wonderful stay at Alexandre's place. He was so kind and responsive. We have three children, and after a rather cramped stay at a London hotel, it was a relief to stretch out in his comfortable apartment. The location was perfect for us, as we were less than thirty minutes by metro or by foot to all the sights we wished to see - Pere LaChaise Cemetery (fifteen minute walk), Le Marais, Bastille, Eiffel Tower, Place de Concorde, the Tuileries, Place des Vosges, La Villette, etc. I cooked for the family every morning and many nights as well, and the kitchen was ideal. We were so comfy gathered around the long table, chatting and snacking, as I prepared meals! Toys, crib, wifi, and stereo system we greatly appreciated and well used. My 1.5 year old daughter was particularly interested in the little kitchen in the kids bedroom. Really, we had every convenience.

I want to especially thank Alexandre for his thoughtful recommendations in the "green book", which we consulted at least once a day. Everything in the neighborhood is close at hand - supermarkets, bakeries, butchers, street markets, fruit stands, banks, laundromats, and so on. This was our first airbnb experience, and, thanks to Alexandre, it will not be our last!
