Anne's apartment is beautiful and right in the heart of the Marais area, with many restaurants and shops right outside. The windows provide a great view of the street, but it's not loud when the windows are closed. She's a great host and was very accommodating with amenities for the kitchen and bathroom (plenty of towels!), providing restaurant suggestions, and even letting us keep our bags in the apartment when we had a late flight the last day so we could still go out and explore Paris for one more day. Would definitely recommend!
