Location to the Marais and communication from the host is the best part of this apartment. Easy access to shops, restaurants and night life. JC could not meet me at the apartment upon my arrival, but his lovely mother was able to show me around. Despite not being there on my first day JC made sure i knew he was around to help if i needed. In fact, i felt bad when i couldn't send him a message the day of my departure ( 7:00 am) due to phone issues as he was always checking in. The apartment looks like the pictures, a bit tiny, but good enough for a solo traveler like myself. Internet worked great and the shower didn't disappoint. He provided all the essentials, toilet paper, towels, soap, etc. I was really pleased with my stay and highly recommended.
