Having been to Paris over twelve times, and being my favorite city, any place- apartment, restaurant, cafe, shop, whatever...has to be special enough to make someone who's been to Paris so often feel like it's the first time, special, so if it falls short of what Paris deserves, forget it! This apartment is wonderful, and between the location (in my opinion, Le Marais is the most "Parisian" neighborhood in the city), the convenience, the amenities (great shower, comfortable bed), quiet courtyard apartment, very equipped kitchen and the addition of having Christine as your host; although we didn't get to meet her face to face, the communication was excellent and she always got back to us within minutes. We couldn't give a higher rating to this apartment and Christine's attentiveness and professionalism. This would be our first choice next and every time we return to Paris - and for other visitors' sakes, hope it stays on AirBnB for a while.
