After reading positive reviews on this property, I made the decision to stay at Anne's apartment in the Marais district. Anne was very attentive and quick to respond to my "first time in Paris" questions. My husband and I arrived early - but that was not a problem as Laurent was already there. He greeted us warmly and showed us around the place. It is perfectly situated - there are monuments, museums, shopping, restaurants, metro stations all within a few minutes' walk. There was coffee, bread and jam and a bottle of wine in the fridge to tide us over until we decided on a place to eat (Anne left several wonderful restaurant recommendations for us). The apartment is clean, bright and this might sound weird - but is smells good. I don't like perfumed anything - but Anne had this orange, basil and mint diffuser that I can still smell. It wasn't overwhelming, it was very subdued. Anne has the magic touch with orchids - there are many scattered around the space. Also, I came home and purchased linen bed sheets. I had never slept on linen sheets before and they were so comfortable - I had to get me some. We had a fabulous
stay in The Marais!
