After our fourth Paris visit for a total of 4 months in 10 years, Gaia's apartment in Le Marais was the most ideal. Public transportation was the simplest of past locations . Buses on both sides of the Seine River along with the occasional transfer to another took us most everywhere we wanted mostly in 10-15 minutes and in our daily travels. Gaia and Noel were extremely responsive to the several requests we had, and even handled an emergency response in record time!! The location was beautiful, filled with many of the needs from space to quietness to restaurants and stores that made apartment living convenient. We would definitely come back again!
