We stayed 8 nights in Nathalie's beautiful apartment. Situated in the charming Marais neighborhood (and just a 3 minute walk from the St. Paul metro stop), it served as a great base for our adventures around Paris. It is elegantly decorated and spacious enough for a couple. The fresh flowers and croissants Nathalie left for us were a great touch as well. Nathalie's friend Carmen met us to give us the keys and showed us around the apartment. Nathalie was very accommodating in letting us drop off our luggage while the apartment was being cleaned. She was also very communicative throughout our stay, recommending places to eat and quickly answering any questions we had. As others mentioned, there is a bit of street noise in the bedroom, but I imagine this is the case in any city apartment that is on a street. Overall, we loved our stay in the apartment and have already recommended it to friends of ours who are traveling to Paris next year.
