When people say it's all about location, they are talking about Celine's fabulous flat in the heart of the Marais. To say it was better than described and better than we hoped would not be exaggerating. Loved, loved, loved the neighborhood, the proximity to the metro, the ability to walk to the Seine, and the beautiful big window that looked down on the street alive with Paris life. Close the window and the flat was very quiet, very secure, and overall a much better experience than staying in a hotel. Celine was a fabulous host who made sure we had everything we needed and even brought us a great bottle of wine during our stay. Celine created a very helpful binder of recommended cafes, places of interest, and local stores which made navigating the neighborhood and city much easier. We will surely be back to Paris and to Celine's flat.
