This apartment far exceeded my expectations! I didn't think it would be possible but it was even nicer than the pictures!! We arrived to find a fresh bouquet of flowers on the table and a bottle of champagne for our group of five. The apartment was well stocked with everything you would need - including a small supply of things to get us started (coffee filters, paper towel, napkins, toilet paper, hand soap). The apartment was very clean and is well laid out to easily accommodate our group of five! The location is ideal - short walk to two different metro stops - Chatelet and Hotel de Ville. The area includes many restaurants, grocery stores and shops - anything you could need is right here at your convenience. We discovered a great little dept. store - BHV opposite of Hotel de Ville - had six floors of anything you would want or need. We also ate at the restaurants surrounding the apartment and always had good service and meals. The nearby bakery, Marnay, kept us content with fresh pastries each morning, availability of salads and sandwiches also. We took a taxi from CDG airport (59 euros) and also used Uber for transfer to hotel at the end of our stay and to the airport. If using Uber, go to Grizzly Cafe on rue Saint-Martin for easier pickup (they also have free wifi). The apartment is located within a very easy walk to Notre Dame and the Seine - including Batobus tour that hits all the major sites at a reasonable rate. Communication with the host, Marie, was professional, friendly, and she provided very quick responses to any inquiries we had while staying here. Very much enjoyed our stay and cannot wait to return!! Thank you Marie!
