I’ll give the bottom line first: We would come back if Mary Ann would have us. I still have the street view below out the three huge living room windows playing in my mind. The windows open for fresh air, and block street noise when closed. The living room is as pictured, with beamed ceiling, Mary Ann’s wonderful paintings on the wall, and open to the kitchen. Three of us stayed there in early June, one tween and two adult sisters. It was great having a separate bed for each of us. The kitchen was well stocked with counter-top oven, microwave, gas burner stove, electric kettle, refrigerator, and dishwasher. But we ate out more than in. Having a boulangerie right next door meant we even had fresh croissants for breakfast. The location is amazing. Metro across the street, bus stop at the doorstep, taxi-stand across the street, grocery store a few doors down. In one direction, the Seine is two blocks away, with Ile St. Louis on across the bridge. In the other direction, the Marais. The bedrooms are tiny… but that meant we spent time together in the large, comfortable, and always fascinating-out-the-windows living room, and we loved that. As others have mentioned, one bedroom has a head-bumping low door (if you’re tall), now fitted with foam. It’s up a set of stairs leading from the living room, and has a door. The other two beds are in the back of the apartment behind one door. One bed is up a set of stairs that curve around; the other bed is below. Each space felt private. The bathroom has a shower, tub, washing machine, and hair dryer. There were plenty of good towels and hot water. The water pressure in the shower is low, but it’s adequate. Toilet in a separate room. The apartment is in an old building and on the second floor (European); no lift. Mary Ann was very responsive prior to our visit. Grant met me when I arrived with a bottle of wine, provided clear and complete instructions for the apartment, and was available for any questions. He pointed out one of Mary Ann’s paintings on the wall that was a student exercise to copy a master painting. We later discovered that painting in the Delacroix museum and were fascinated to learn this was something Delacroix and others encouraged art students to do.
