We (3 of us) enjoyed our stay at Gilian's apartment. The place was exactly as advertised and very centrally located, within walking distance to the metro and also from shopping at le marais. We were initially concerned regarding the safety at Rue Saint Denis but the area is extremely safe and bustling with people even when we came back at midnight. We had a pleasant surprise on Saturday when we chanced upon a local flea market right outside our doorstep!
Will definitely be back for another stay!
