Our stay at this apartment in the heart of Le Marias was outstanding! The views are spectacular from the small balcony (including the Eiffel tower, Notre Dame cathedral, and the Bastille monument to name a few), but especially beautiful in the evening as the sun sets. My wife and I found the place very comfortable, well appointed, and extremely clean. The apartment was just as described in the ad, but so much better. There’s even an elevator that makes getting to the top floor a breeze. Francois was an excellent host. He gave us a tour of his place when we got there (which was very late due our delay in Belgium), explained everything in detail about the apartment, and provided some recommendations of his own for some local shops and restaurants. There’s quaint cafés, wine and cheese shops, metro stops, a grocery store, and an open air market within a very short walking distance. We will definitely stay at Francois’ place on our return to Paris.
