The flat was great, just as represented. Very convenient location on the western edge of Le Marais near Le Centre Pompidou very convenient to the Les Halles train station and the Metro. Lot's of sites to see within walking distance. Great restaurants and cafe's in Le Marais and the flat itself is on a very vibrant square which is great, bedrooms are in the back so you can sleep- fantastic. Very comfortable, clean, well appointed flat, washer/dryer is very convenient. Second floor but the climb is no problem, no air con but the big windows let in a great fresh breeze. My wife and I stayed with our two children and it was absolutely perfect. Arno is a fantastic host, met us at the train and checked us in personally, made sure we had his contact info, information on the neighborhood, the flat, and quickly answered back a couple of questions we had during our stay. I would book this flat again for our next trip no question. Thanks Arno!
