This place was amazing! Everything was spotlessly clean and in very good repair. Someone met us at the apartment for check in and went over the little details of the apartment - how to use the washer/dryer, where everything was stored, how to use the TV; it really made us feel welcome and comfortable. The location is excellent and Paul and Marie provide a binder full of suggestions. The street is busy, but the apartment is off a courtyard. There was no street noise once we were inside and minimal noise from the courtyard/surrounding apartments. The hosts were really flexible and responsive - they allowed us to check out an hour late, which saved us time and money and for which we were really grateful! The metro is about a block away, so everywhere we wanted to go in Paris was easy to reach. I would enthusiastically recommend this apartment to friends and hope that I get a chance to stay here again!
