Anne-Marie has a fantastic, modernly-appointed flat in an historic building on a very historic street. Modern and clean appliances including a full-sized bathroom with a private (and new) water heater, as well as a full-sized fridge and an HD TV with dozens of cable channels. Most are in French but if that wears you out, try 233-240. All English news services like CNN, CNBC, BBC, SKY, etc.
Very secure building with layered iron gating (with modern digital locks) that opens up onto a very bustling Rue de Rivoli. Right in the middle of world class shopping in the heart of the Marais.
Plenty of good to great restaurants in the immediate vicinity as well.
My only note of caution is that after midnight, most everything is closed but due to the very central location, the population on the streets gets a little dodgy. As with most of Paris at night, it's best if you travel in pairs after-hours.
Anne-Marie is very friendly, communicative and interactive and we would definitely stay at her place again!
