I had the most tremendous stay at Alexandre's apartment. While it is true the space is quite compact, it is also beautifully finished and I found was just the right size for the independent traveller. There's an espresso machine in the apartment (which saved me plenty of euro every day), the light is lovely, and it is a very quick walk to Shakespeare and Company - a large part of why I was back in Paris. Do note that there is a private toilet separate from the apartment, so you must enter and exit the apartment with your keys in order to use the facilities (which I never found to be an issue). There is also an elevator up a small flight of stairs so you don't have to carry your luggage to the top of the building, but would not be accessible for those in a wheelchair or with very limited mobility. When I fell ill with bronchitis, Alexandre's family even brought me soup, some home remedies, and shared some extra chocolate cake they had when I was feeling better. He is very communicative and prompt in his responses to set up bookings or when I had trouble with the wifi - I quickly felt very at home in the space. I would absolutely stay here again!
