Location, location, location! We loved our stay at Thomas' flat in the Marais. The first floor walk-up in a historic building overlooked a great street for shopping, dining, and people watching. We even pulled up our barstools to the window, opened the shutters and made our own cafe. Although the street could get busy at night, the second you shut the windows, the apartment was completely silent. We used the AC some at night as well. The apartment was well-appointed with everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable with great linens. Towels were soft and fresh. Bathrobes were included. Thomas was a great host and even treated us to wine when we first arrived. Would definitely recommend!
