We arrived at Le Marais up long intricate narrow streets filled with exotic foods, fashion, restaurants and most of all Paris atmosphere. Rafael was there to meet us and take us up to the sixth floor in the lift centred in a beautiful winding staircase. The apartment opened into a bright light filled stylish space with all the comfort and facilities that one would want during a Paris stay, spotlessly clean and even the current months magazines waiting on side tables. Even on a couple of the cooler autumn days it was warm and cozy and good to come home to.
Our host Ariane was so responsive to all our needs and made us feel genuinely welcome. People in the area were friendly and helpful and very accommodating when it came to our Anglo Saxon version of the French language.
When departing, Tatiana was there to help and arranged a taxi for us. I’ve tried to find some negatives to make the review more realistic however there just weren’t any. I didn’t want to leave.
