Lara was a very friendly and helpful host. She answered very fast and knowledgable to all our questions and even let us keep our luggage in the apartment until afternoon on check-out day. The location of the apartment is perfect, so close to a lot of great places in the Marais. There are even two fantastic restaurants right next to it in the same street. The apartment is located on the ground floor in a court yard. My husband is a light sleeper and he woke up in the nights, when other habitants of the house came home and walked through the courtyard talking.
