This place is an OASIS! Perfect location for exploring Paris and the Marais district in particular. A stones throw from the metro, the bus, the beautiful Place du Vosages, and all the fun attendent cafe's. The building itself is a part of the Parisan experience- It was a cloistered building, so the interior gardens are really special. We took a ground floor flat with spectacular french doors that opened onto a private terrace connected to the larger interior space. The apartment was darling, comfortable, and very well appointed (Laundry, nice bathroom, frig, wine glasses!). My kids and I were thrilled. Carole is a professional host- Everything you need to know in a welcome email and on a welcome letter at the place. This includes details beyond the log-in-- they recommend the perfect scenic jogging route. It's admirable work. Can't wait to go back. I will be letting friends know that this the THE place to stay in Paris. Also, the value for what you get is incredible.
