Studio Alvene
Welcome the simply sweet studio Alvene in Paris, a bright prrivate self-contained apartment in in the up-and-coming 11the arrondissement (neighbourhood) of Paris.
The 11eme is an area often overlooked by travellers who believe they need to be in the most central areas, this is not the case. The 11th arrondissement has become THE location for experiencing an authentic artistic Paris neighbourhood while being only 10mins walk to the trendy Marais, 10 min walk to Bastille and 20 min walk to the seine river.
Here you will live away from the central chaos of Paris, yet within walking distance of all of that action, PLUS it has its own local beautiful spots to enjoy and explore such as the tranquil and leafy Canal St Martin and its boutiques, bars and cafes, the most beautiful Boulangerie is nearby as is two of the best coffee spots in the city within 10 min walk.

About your host Alvene:
Alvene is of Malaysian heritage and from Brisbane Australia. 15 years ago he came to Paris and fell in love and basically never left.
He is a pastry chef in Paris (he knows all the best pastry and coffee places both in the area of the apartment and within all of Paris). He purchased this apartment as his primary residence but also lives between this home and his other Paris home.
When Alvene is not in this apartment he offers it to fellow Aussie or international guests. Alvene is a wonderful host, who aligns with Petite Paris ethos of making connections with guests.
For Alvene (and Petite Paris) it is not just about offering travellers an empty apartment, Alvene is also is a friend, who will welcome you upon arrival, show you all the bits-and-bobs of the home, spend time with you sharing his city tips, as well as helping you to plan you Paris days from the apartment.
He loves to connect with guests in a deeper way, getting to know them and promising them the utmost quality hospitality and care.
Alvene offers bike riding tours around Paris too, another way for him to get to know his guests and vice-versa for guests to get to know Alvene, as well as the city, and hopefully make this their ‘forever’ home in Paris.
