Communication with Philippe was excellent from booking onwards. He was always very responsive and met us at the apartment and was very friendly and helpful. The location couldn't be better, convenient for the metro and all the shops, bars and restaurants you could need. The lovely Marais is a short stroll away. The apartment is finished to a very high standard with a huge comfortable sofa bed and TV, compact kitchen perfect for preparing breakfasts and light meals, powerful shower and a separate, cozy double bedroom. The sitting room looks out onto Rue Commines which is a side street. With the windows open it can be a little noisy, however once these are closed, the double glazing is very effective at blocking out any traffic noise. The bedroom is at the back of the apartment and is quiet. Overall, a really lovely apartment in a superb location.
