Marc was great. We were in text contact re. collecting keys and accessing the apartment etc. and we were much later than we had expected to be because of flight delays. The apartment was so welcoming - warm and cosy (it was snowing outside!) and very clean and quiet. It was also very light and airy. The bed was nice and big (I am 6ft and my husband is 6'6" so that is important to us!) and very comfortable. Marc had left coffee (and a coffee machine) and some other home comforts. The apartment is up 3 or 4 flights of stairs (no lift) so it will keep you fit! It is really close to a metro station which takes you to the heart of Paris (the Louvre, Seine etc.) in only 2 or 3 stops (or a 15/20 minute walk). It was brilliant value for money and we had a great time. This is the first time we have stayed in an apartment compared to a hotel and we loved it. We will be doing it agian. Next time we go to Paris I am definitely finding out if Marc's apartment is available.
