The apartment was perfect for our needs - spacious enough for four people, located within a very short walk to Etienne Marcel metro station (handily on the same line as Gard du Nord, so an easy transition from Eurostar to Paris), and also walking distance to Rue Montorgueil, Centre Pompidou, Marais and even the River Seine is not too far.

Rue Tiquetonne is a bit of an up and coming trendy laneway with eateries and nice independent shops. I liked it very much. I think maybe if you slept with the windows open on a weekend it might be a little noisy, but with windows shut we slept very well.

The double bed and the fold out sofa bed were both very comfortable. The flat was clean and tidy and the kitchen was equipped with everything you need. We appreciated even having little things like tea bags, sugar and coffee capsules in the larder that we could use.

While we didn't get to meet Simo personally, he kept in contact with us before, during and after the trip to make sure we were ok. We were met by Clement who was very nice and Guillame who was very friendly also. They were very helpful in that they accommodated our early check in and late check out needs - allowing us to leave our bags at the flat.

The lift was great, security was fine, and the neighbourhood seemed pretty safe. I'd love to stay here again!
