Vinciane’s place is just as described. It is old and would classify as “funky” to me (an older guy from Minnesota). My wife said she could imagine Shakespeare living and writing in the apartment. Vinciane was very responsive and checking in was very smooth. The location cannot be beat for a stay in the Marais/Temple area. You have to walk up to the apartment, but after the first trip up with our bags, we did just fine (I am a 70 year old man). Vinciane’s place is a great value in an excellent location.
