Marie was great with directions and communication. The apt was tidy-comfortable and exactly as pictured. Perfect for 1 or 2 ppl. So close to Gare De l’Est. This is why I booked this area as I had a train reservation to Reims for champagne tasting early the next morning and it was only an 8 minute walk and arrived at my 738 am train departure at 720 am. I could have used this info for an easier arrival had I taken the RER train from CDG to gare de l’Est and walked 8 mins in the apt which is indeed flat and better than the route I took. You’re not in the apt for long if you are taking advantage of Paris in all it has to offer, location and the comfort of this apt.
