Anne-Marie greeted us with a booklet of information about her place and neighborhood, has plenty of maps and is in an ideal location. She had started a journal for her guests to keep for each other, so we could pass on visitor tips. She was gracious and hospitable, leaving some snacks and an absolutely immaculate apartment. Her place was perfect for us- the bed and bathroom are very comfortable (good shower! plenty of hot water!), the layout is cozy but roomy enough to feel at home, the kitchen is tiny but very efficient and well-supplied. Even though it's in a very central, busy area of town, the flat is on the 2nd floor (1st, if you're European) facing an inner covered courtyard, so it's easy to get to, very quiet, private and secure. Public transit options are nearby, and so many major sites are within walking distance that we didn't even use up our 10-pass subway tickets in a week. There's a grocery store a few feet down the block and tons of stylish shopping, too. It's a few blocks in either direction to the heart of the Marais or Notre Dame She has a comfortable pull-out sofa, so this is the perfect place for a couple or2- but only if you're real grown-ups about taking care of it. This isAnne-Marie's home, and she has such lovely things, so well-kept, that this is NOT a casual crash-pad. Please don't stay here if you don't plan to be responsible- we'd hate for her to not have guests as respectful to her as she is to them. Thank you, Anne-Marie- we will send friends to you and contact you if we come back.
