Where to begin?! I stayed here with my husband for one entire glorious month, the apartment is SO much better than in the photos! Very French with beautiful wood floors and a marble fireplace. The balcony is a dream, we were always racing home to get onto the balcony to watch the sunset over the rooftops.

It's one block from a great metro and a velib bike station, trendy Marais brunch/shopping (all around the Place des Vosges), and a short stroll to the Seine. Absolutely perfect for short or long stays, we felt like locals but were close to all the touristy things as well.

Oh final note, Hervé was fantastic! Very kind and accessible before and during the trip, we can't wait to come again.
