We had a wonderful stay here! The apartment is nice and secluded, back away from the street (still plenty of natural light) and felt very safe for me and my teenage daughter. Check in was seamless and Marcel met us at the door and welcomed us in just as he promised. He recommended some nearby restaurants and shops and that was very helpful. I know if we had needed anything he would have been there to help us right away. The apartment has the old wooden beams in the ceiling and feels very authentically Parisian. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. The little washer was a welcome surprise and worked well. Dishwasher was also great! The bedroom has a very comfortable bed and the sofa bed was comfortable for my daughter. During the day we did put the bed away so we could use the couch and the place felt very spacious for us compared to the very small hotel room we had stayed in before. The TV was easy to use, and there were plenty of lovely books about Paris which we enjoyed reading. Neighbors were friendly but we didn’t see too many of them. The location is amazing. Check out was also very easy. We felt in some ways more like house guests than renters, it was wonderful!
