The apartment was lovely and very comfortable. It has a large open space with a bed, table and chairs, books, a large closet, multiple windows and beautiful light and is tastefully decorated. Overall it was incredibly welcoming. The bed was super comfortable and the apartment generally quiet (though noisy with neighbors' parties on weekend nights, they all ended before midnight).

Carole was delightful and helpful, allowing me to check in early; she was thoughtful, gracious and easy to work with.

The apartment is in an excellent location - near the Marais, but still quiet and not over-hyped. It's just steps from Canal St. Martin which is great for running and the Metro is just a few steps away (not that you will need it, it's very close to all the major sites).

One note if you like to cook while traveling - the kitchen is very basic, if you plan to cook in, you will need to purchase nearly all the basic ingredients as it is not equipped for cooking, and it does not have an oven.
