This place is exactly as advertised. Helene and Mikael were amazing hosts. The apartment is smaller than I thought, but big enough for one person. The shower is very nice and place was clean awirj a comfortable bed . I was alone and felt very safe at night when I walked home. Mikael met me at the apartment and let me in early which I appreciated as my flight arrived at 7 AM. He also answered my questions and helped me sign into the internet. He went out and bought some supplies to ensure I would have enough. He was very kind. It was easy to get around the area and convenient to several metro stops. There was a grocery store within walking distance which was helpful and there were several restaurants in the Marais area. I highly recommend this apartment.
