We had a lovely time here in Paris. The location is superb; right on the edge of the Le Marais district, which means walking distance to Arr 1-4, and a combo of metro + walking to Arr 5-8.

The apartment is located in a safe and quiet neighborhood. A great number boulangeries and patisseries are available nearby, with one right next door. There is also easy access to super markets, including an organic grocery next door. It's but a short 10 minutes stroll to the Les Halles forum (think shopping!), along with some more great eats along the way. A bank is right down the street in case you need an ATM. Of course, the proximity to Le Marais is probably why you're looking here!

About the apartment itself - it is very clean, stylish, and furnished with pretty much everything you need, with a lot of attention to detail. A Nespresso machine for groggy mornings before you get your cappuccino, a fridge, a dishwasher, a clothes washer (and drying rack), a TV, wifi, a water heater with customizable temps, vacuums, etc. An umbrella is available too, should the weather get a little wet. They were even nice enough to include a power plug adapter. I typically come prepared, but was very pleasantly surprised to find one in the room! If you need more than one outlet though, you'll want to bring a travel surge or an extra adapter. And in case you're last minute planner, there's a ton of great literature on the coffee table for exploring the city.

About the hosts - Marc & Lionel - can't say more good things. They were flexible on our arrival time. I was ready to hang out in a nearby shop as we were arriving early, but Marc was there to greet us! They were also kind enough to put together a guidebook explaining not only how to work all the things in the apartment, but also suggesting local eats and destinations. Even though the guidebook describes everything in detail, Marc kindly took the time to walk us through everything, and was very patient with our questions. TL;DR, would stay again with zero hesitation. Highly recommended in every way.
