Communication - Marie communicated extremely well, responded quickly and informatively to emails, answered her phone immediately, and met us at the apartment within 5 minutes of our arrival. Her English was excellent, so every part was easy for us to understand.

Assistance - Marie was very friendly and nice, and provided us with multiple recommendations for food and drink in the area, and directed us to the shops in the area.

Preparation - the details of getting into and out of the apartment were quickly explained, the apartment was well prepared. Everything was easy.

Location - the location of the apartment was fantastic, right at the beginning of Rue Montorgueil, a very short walk to the metro, and at the heart of this fun Paris neighborhood. You step outside the entrance and you go from quiet to one of the liveliest streets in Paris.

Neighborhood - I got up every morning and went out for fresh croissant and fruit, multiple places within one Paris block. Lots of Paris places, fish, bread, cheese, wine, meat, chocolate shops right next door. And a dozen restaurants within 2 minutes. Commercial? A little, but nice. A very, very safe vibe, we walked around at all hours.

It was noisy, late, on a Saturday night, there were three separate parties going on, and there was one woman with the loudest laugh I've ever heard. This is close to the liveliest neighborhood in Paris, so not unexpected, and not bothersome.

Notes / Details - the bedroom is up a fairly steep spiral staircase, so note you will have to climb up to go to bed & to shower. There is a full bathroom on that floor, so that was fine. (And a toilette & sink on the main floor.)The apartment is normal sized by American standards, which is to say small - but cozy, and very nice.

There was a coffee machine, and a full kitchen, we ended up not cooking, but we could have.

Overall - we would definitely go back.
