Alexandre generously left us fruit, coffee, and bottled water for our arrival and accommodated our late arrival very generously. The apartment is in an amazing location, we could walk to the Louvre, Pompidou, Notre Dame and even to the Musee d'Orsay. The neighborhood is surrounded by adorable shops and great restaurants. There is a great scene around the place and it's just lovely. I can't recommend this location enough! The courtyard of the building is very pretty and it's on the 2nd floor up a nice staircase. The apartment was clean, spacious, and comfortable. Alexandre was very helpful with everything and a very gracious host! The only issue is that you have to carry your luggage up to the 2nd floor (no elevator). It's easy without luggage or smaller suitcases, but a pain with large luggage (and we overpack).
