Absolutely as described. Lovely flat in a great neighbourhood . We stayed for only three days, I wish it had been longer. We felt very comfortable and at home in Matteo's flat. The building and flat feel very Parisian, which is exactly what I wanted. My eight year old son slept on the sofa bed...which was very comfortable both as a sofa and as a bed. The double bed was very comfortable and even the pillows were great (and I'm fussy about pillows.)
I would recommend this apartment. It was clean, well equipped and we had no problems. The Marais is a great area just to walk around and explore. Close to Metro and restaurants. Thanks Matteo! Sorry we were late and missed meeting you in person!
