I had a wonderful stay at Marie-Laure's apartment while in Paris during September. She was very easy to schedule a meeting time and left a very helpful tip sheet with information about the Wi-Fi and local hot spots on the coffee table for reference. The apartment is absolutely adorable and the balcony was my favorite part. The area is very safe! I traveled with one of my girl friends and we always felt very safe. A few doors down is a fire station {Don't worry they do not use their fire alarms on the street of the apartment}. Also, everything is extremely walkable. The Louvre is only a few blocks away and there are plenty of cute cafes and shops in the area. I will definitely return!
