Our check in went smoothly. Our host Paul was great, friendly and informative. The apartment had lots of charm, a great location, and we felt at home there. The apartment's amenities were well thought out: cooking supplies, tea (which we drink), plates, glasses, etc. All very nice which contributed to our positive experience. The apartment is in a very nice part of the Marais and there were nice restaurants close by. It's a couple of blocks from the Rue Veille du Temple which has lovely boutique stores if that strikes your fancy. It's also close the Picasso and other museums. I just liked the atmosphere of the neighborhood. And of the apartment. I would rent from them again.
