The apartment was amazing. It had everything we needed, was light, quiet, beautiful and the location was perfect. We could easily walk to Notre Dame, the Georges Pompidou Center and the Louvre and the Metro was easy to take to places a bit further away. It was fun to be in the busy hustle of the Marais district and then step thru the blue door into the quiet and elegant apartment. The Marais district has great restaurants and the information provided by Christophe included directions and recommendations. Also thoughtfully provided were cards with walking tours of Paris, a metro map and a great Rick Steves book. We could not have had a better time. This was my first airbnb experience and I may never stay in a hotel again.
