My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful week in Ariane's apartment in Le Marais. The location was ideal, within easy walking distance to so many of the places we wanted to visit, wonderful streets to walk (whether to reach a destination or just to stroll), green spaces for sitting and absorbing the sights and sounds of the city, shops of all sizes, and restaurants for all tastes and occasions. Metro stops to main and connecting lines are close by also. We were able to vary our days with early excursions, afternoon rest, and evening dining, concerts, or strolls--or late mornings over coffee and pastries followed by a leisurely lunch in a nearby restaurant, and nights on the town. The apartment is small, but very well appointed. Situated on the sixth floor it afforded vistas of the city and a small balcony for morning coffee or late afternoon/evening drinks. The lift was a welcome extra at the end of the day. The kitchen made it easy to have the occasional meal "at home," with nearby specialty shops for picking up wine, cheese, pastries, and fresh fruit. Ariane's lists of suggestions (both on her listing and made via emails) were very helpful. Logistics were easy to manage both arriving and departing, again with excellent guidance from Ariane and her housekeeper. We have no hesitancy in recommending this listing--or in returning to it next time.
