Marie-Claude is not only very responsive, but also very attentive and checked in frequently to see how things were going. Her English is excellent. The apartment is above several lively restaurants that stay open late. We ate at several using the little French we know with no problem. There is a beautiful park nearby as well for afternoon relaxation. And the fantastic marche, Enfants Rouge, which is a must. From this neighborhood you can walk to all the big sights with some good sneakers. But we chose to mostly enjoy all the cafes in the neighborhood. It's easy not to leave. Thank you, Marie-Claude!
