I enjoyed my 3 weeks in Leonard's apartment.
I found Leonard and his family very conscientious and easy to deal with.
Any questions I had were promptly answered.

I was met on arrival and on departure and both went smoothly. The above is important when renting from someone you have never met.

I was in Paris to work on my design projects and I required a studio with "student character", "atmosphere", "good light" and "pleasant views".
Leonard's apartment certainly provided all the above.

The apartment overlooks a famous small "market square" Marche St Catherine in the Marais district.
The atmosphere in the square below the apartment is to say the least "active" with the square being a great place to dine in any one of its 6 cafes ... all of which are very active till after midnight 7 days a week. This suited me as I enjoyed the "sounds of Paris cafe life" as I worked on my design project till at least 1am or 2am most nights.

For me all the places I love on the Right and Left banks ie. monuments, churches, galleries, cafe's etc were within easy walking distance of the apartment.

If you are young, or young of heart, enjoy staying up late and have a desire to experience the lively side of Paris in a well positioned "students" apartment then I am sure you will enjoy your stay in Leonard's apartment as much as I did.

I even had the pleasure of enjoying lunch (in the cafe below the apartment) with Leonard and his girlfriend Anna on the day of my departure.

Again my thanks to Leonard and his family.
