This apartment is truly as advertised. It was extremely quiet for sleeping and well equipped for our 6 day stay. The neighborhood was safe, well lite and a short walk to the metro, lots of shopping and a variety of food choices. The best cafe is just steps from the front door, Petite Cafe. Carol stayed in contact with us on our journey and arrival so we did not have to wait when we got there. She was helpful and genuinely concerned that we were comfortable. The Marais district has so much to see and do within walking distance. We could have easily spent three days exploring this district alone! The convenient access to the metro made accessing all the districts easy.
