The accommodations were just as described, and more. My husband and I were very comfortable in this lovely apartment and our host was gracious and helpful. Kitchen appliances were clean and well marked as to operating instructions. We were grateful for the added luxury of a washing machine as we were in Paris for almost a week (drying racks were provided and worked nicely). Amazing location, a short walk to the nearest metro station in the beautiful, historic Marais district. Grocery stores, both traditional and organic, one or two doors down from the apartment. Le Cave restaurant, also nearby, was lively and served great food.
