The apartment itself is in a wonderful area of Paris. Le Marais is full of bars, cafes, restaurants and interesting shops. When we arrived at the apartment, the previous guests were still there and we were advised to come back in a few hours. This wasn't a problem, however slightly surprising as we had been told our arrival time would be fine. When we returned, it had obviously not been cleaned to a very high standard. It later became apparent there had been a mix up with the cleaner and at 8am after our first night, a cleaner let herself into the apartment. She apologized, saying she did not know people were here, and we arranged for her to come back in the afternoon while we would be out. When we arrived home, the apartment was in a much nicer condition. The apartment itself is beautiful, with a very interesting bedroom and wonderful furnishings. There were no coffee pods, as the listing said, but this wasn't a big problem for us as there are so many wonderful cafes in the area. Because of the mix up with arrival time and the cleaner, I probably wouldn’t stay here again, however if these things don’t bother you, it is highly recommended.
