I was traveling with my 80 year old parents and 13 year old niece and Mary Ann's place was just perfect for us. The apartment is stunning, with everything one could need is there and it was very comfortable for us. The neighborhood is great and easy to navigate. We travelled mostly by foot and on the Seine to get around to see the sights of Paris. The Marais is very lively and full of nightlife. We loved opening up the big windows to experience the nightlife of Paris after a busy day of sight seeing. Upon arrival, Grant met us right on time with the keys and walk us through the "how to's" of the apartment. There's also a big notebook of everything one might need to know just in case. I highly recommend the apartment and I would stay there again.
