My husband's going to hate me for writing this review, lest we encourage other guests and never be able to book this lovely home again. We have stayed in a number of vacation rentals in Paris over the years, and this was the most charming. Filled with personal touches it felt very much like a home, but was still organized and tidy enough that we didn't feel like we were intruding on someone else's life. Check in and check out was smooth. Unbelievably spacious for a Paris flat, with a perfectly equipped kitchen, two complete bathrooms with plenty of hot water, dependable internet, and comfortable beds, Alexandra's home also offers a great music and movie library and wonderful art, and a view of a lovely green courtyard. Central heat was no small luxury this time of year. And after fighting with combo washer and dryers all over Europe, we were delighted to rely on the laundromat next door. The neighborhood is convenient to everything on foot or via nearby Metro stops. We could not have been happier.
