What a wonderful apartment in a great neighborhood! We had 4 adults (parents and 2 twentysomethings) and it fit us perfectly. It is so much better than a hotel- we were able to spread out and have our own space along with being able to get up and make coffee and have a light breakfast without having to leave the apt. We stayed there for 8 days and it made our trip a pleasure. Marianne kindly provided just what we needed on our arrival (coffee/coffee maker/sugar/shampoo and body gel,laundry soap,etc) but asked us to replace what we used, which is only fair. You may want to stick in soap and your own shampoo so it is even easier. She has a hair dryer, coffee pot and toaster and good sized fridge which is all we needed. The washer/dryer were easy to use and made packing easy. She provided a guide book for the apt with recommendations and directions to the supermarket and close by restaurants which helped a lot. My kids were most concerned about wifi and it was perfect - easy to log on and provided a consistently strong signal. The tv has a few English speaking stations to keep up on the news. The Odeon metro is less than a 5 minute walk away and the Paris metro is easy to master. We walked a lot as this location is very close to Notre Dame, the Louvre, Luxumbourg Gardens and Latin Quarter. Laurent was easy to work with and met us punctually at the apt on our arrival and was there to say goodbye. He helped by setting up our return cab for us when we arrived, which made transportation worry free. There are a lot of stairs - 100 to be exact - but it was worth it to stay in such a handy location and at a very competitive price. We laughed and said it helped to work off all the wine and food we were eating and drinking! We would use this apartment again in a heartbeat. As a side note, we took a taxi to and from the airport and it was between 60 - 70 Euro. Staying here spoiled us for using hotels on other trips, especially if we are staying a long time in one place. Thank you Marianne and Laurent for helping make our Paris vacation outstanding!
