Abel met us on time; we kept in touch via text message on the day we arrived. That was the last we heard or saw of him during our stay. The location of the apartment was great if you like the Marais and walking Paris. We came to eat traditional French food and found the local restaurants and bars in the area a bit expensive so tended to go to other areas to eat and drink. There are good supermarkets and fantastic patisseries nearby though. The apartment itself was pretty good for us, a couple except the bathroom was musty and some of the utensils were a bit grubby. The kitchen is also wanting for those who want to cook (fortunately we didn't). A few extra touches and the place would be great e.g. a saucepan, tea towels, filters for the coffee machine, dishwashing liquid and instructions for the enormous television. This review comes after staying in three other Airbnb places in continental Europe during the same vacation so I'm comparing like with like for the price. We didn't bring our eight-year old son on this leg of the holiday; he would have slept comfortably on the couch in the living area but it would have been a bit of a squeeze. But if you don't need lots of privacy two couples or a small family could sleep here.
