Matthieu's posh apartment is just as described, if not better. The flat has been newly renovated with modern updates, but is in a very unique historic building. Some of the original stone work was left exposed adding a beautiful touch to the already magnificent design. Each bedroom has a private bathroom and the beds are very comfortable. The location doesn't get better for Paris - it's centrally located on a very quiet alley in the hip Marais, just a short walk to great cafés and stores. Marché des Enfants Rouges, the oldest covered market in Paris, is a 2 min walk and has excellent food choices. The beautiful Place des Vosges, the oldest planned square in Paris, is about a 12 min walk. There are a few Metro stations within walking distance: Filles du Calvaire (3 min walk) & Place de la République (6 min walk). Matthieu was an excellent communicator with very quick response times. Check-in and check-out was a breeze. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Paris.
