Gilles' apartment in Paris was perfect for my husband and I. We were met on time, at the front door. After a quick tour of the VERY CLEAN apartment, we were on our own! The apartment is on the ground floor, convenient if you have a few pieces of luggage.

Everything is as pictured in the listing. The rough stone walls and wood floors brought the charm of the Le Marais neighborhood inside. All of the furnishings were in great condition and the bed was very comfortable, too. Plenty of clothing storage in the closet and under-bed drawers.

The kitchen was fully outfitted as expected - dinnerware, pots and pans (even a wok!) and plenty of glasses for the delicious French wines. Although there is no clothes washing facilities in the apartment, there's a great little launderette just a few doors down.

The bathroom was perfect for two people - and there's plenty of hot water :-)

The neighborhood is vibrant and there are plenty of places to eat within walking distance. I'd recommend to check out the open air market across the street and the boulangerie around the corner. It's also a short walk to two Metro stops which can get you just about anywhere in Paris quickly.

All-in-all, we had a perfect time in Paris! Gilles' place will always be at the top of my list when I visit Paris.
