Pascale was great!!! Very nice person, always responds quickly to any questions you may have regarding the apartment or any other questions about the area. Accessing the apartment was very easy with the instructions provided, we felt very safe and secure in the courtyard. The area is very quiet considering you are in the middle of a very large city. Central location was fantastic, Metro and Rue Montorgueil market street just around the corner. Actually, you can walk to many locations to burn some extra calories for all the pastries you will be eating! (Eric Kayser, Paul, Stohrer, all on the market street I mentioned) We walked to the Louvre, Cite, the Marais. The apartment is perfect, very large by Paris standards, very functional kitchen. We were able to prepare some of our meals at "home" which was fun and budget friendly:-). Bathroom was very large and functional as well, loved the big clawfoot tub, we had no issues with the floor flooding like some other people had mentioned. The loft area does have a low ceiling but we basically stored all our gear up stairs and slept, no issues for us. The price was very reasonable and I would stay here again, no problem!!! Highly recommended!!!
