Stylish apartment in a quiet neighborhood provided a wonderful stay in Paris. Shops and restaurants are plentiful in the area. It would have been nice have been able to try more of them. The location has a key code to get in from the street to the courtyard and the apartment is on the first floor with a key code to get the key to enter the apartment. I felt very safe in the area even at night walking. The apartment looks exactly like the pictures and the expresso machine was fabulous. Host was very attentive and quick with responses. Rick Steves walking tour of the Marais goes right by this apartment building so you know it is in the heart of the community. Great stay!
