You will feel like a temporary Parisian at Marie's lovely apartment which is ideally situated in a vibrant, walkable part of Paris. It is beautifully decorated and the views from the balcony are exactly as magical as it looks in the pictures. We spent many morning and evenings out there with bread, cheese and wine living our Parisian dream. Nightlife in the cafes below are miraculously blocked out so no trouble sleeping at all. We walked from the apartment along the Seine and through the neighborhood where the shopping and eating options were fabulous. Marie met us at the door and walked us up, showing us how to key in to the beautiful old building. (The elevator is beautiful but tiny and you have to walk w your bags up the last floor). Marie had maps and guidebooks in English available for us to use and a great taxi referral which we used to book our airport ride home. The house had everything we needed (towels, shampoo, hair dryer) and kitchen basics are available to use, with a market a few doors down. FYI, the master bedroom was two beds pushed together but mattress was firm and bed was big enough for my 6'4 hsb. We both slept well during our week-long stay. It is absolutely worth the splurge to stay at Marie's beautiful flat. I look forward to returning soon!
