We were in communication with Anne who met us at the apartment. She was most helpful and made herself available in case we needed assistance. I chose this location because it is in the 4th arrondisement , Marais area. It is minutes from the Bastille and Saint Paul metro lines and there are tons of cafes, bistros, bakeries and supermarkets. The quiet apartment is 2 flights up. It has heaters which we used. There is a washing machine. There is cable TV with CNN and the wireless internet works well. the area is about 25 meters but well planned with separate bedroom. The small sofa in living room becomes a 2nd bed which we used. The apartment was simple but adequate.
