Bonjour Marc
Marc, the host, was in constant contact with me giving me location and protocol of the apartment. Even though Marc, whom I did not meet, was not available, Theresa was in charge of the apartment for him. She was very gracious, funny, and lovely. She spoke Portuguese and French which made communication easy. She showed me around the apartment and she was kind enough to even mend my slacks! The apartment was as they described it: amazing light, great location, and ficus trees in every room. They had a washer and dryer in the apartment and shops close so that it was convenient. However travelers beware it is a 5 story walk up. Quiet neighborhood next to all the museums. If you don't want to be a tourist in Paris this is apartment to rent. I will definitely be back!
