This apartment was perfectly located in the trendy Marais neighborhood, with very easy access to not just any number of cafes, shops, and sights, but also access to excellent sources of French foods/cheeses/pastries to take advantage of cooking in the apartment. Just steps from the busy activity of the neighborhood, the apartment is situated behind the classic doors of a renovated historic building on the first floor off the quiet courtyard. Nicolas was very attentive to all our needs/questions in his communications from reservation through our actual stay. You can tell that he wants his guests to feel at home right away by providing a bottle of champagne right from the start, plus in our case, additional fans in anticipation of a June heat wave. We are grateful for this lovely place to stay and hope to return soon!
