My host ended up not being there during our stay. BUT, Sebastian from the office, was outstanding in his efforts to make the stay fabulous. The flat was clean and comfortable. Being in Le Marais was amazing ... access to all of Paris easily, and it felt very safe walking alone ... even very late at night. The only surprise was that there were 5 flights of an old, uneven wooden spiral staircase ... a challenge with luggage! Sebastian was also a great help in overcoming this obstacle. I would definitely recommend this one!
