The flat was perfect for my needs. It was very clean, spacious, comfortable and quiet. It had everything that I needed (washer/dryer, hairdryer, iron, good wifi, comfy bed, etc). It is on the ground floor and very secure because of the courtyard entry and the window coverings. Himanshu and his mother-in-law were very welcoming and convivial. There are grocery stores very near by and it in between many subway lines, so traveling is very convenient. And the Marais can't be beat!
