Pierre Marie was away during our stay in Paris, and so unfortunately we did not get to meet him in person. But prior to our arrival, we were in regular communication and he was attentive and quick to reply to all our questions. He made arrangements for his assistant Isabelle to greet us upon our arrival and to assist us with any problems which we might encounter.

Isabelle was fantastic. Even though we missed our connecting flight into Paris and so we didn't arrive until 10pm, Isabelle was there waiting for us. The airline also mishandled our luggage and then didn't keep their promise to deliver it to us the following afternoon. Again, Isabelle came to the rescue and as a result of her resourcefulness, she "persuaded" the airline and we promptly received our luggage that same evening.

The apartment and location is exactly as described. Everything in the apartment is immaculate. It is very cosy and private, even though it is on the ground floor and faces onto a courtyard. Pierre Marie and Isabelle's office is right opposite the courtyard, and so we felt very safe knowing that there is always help if we need it. The immediate neighbourhood is very quite, safe, away from the bustling tourist zones but still closeby to all the major landmarks. Lots of quaint cafes and bistros nearby. Isabelle gave us a complete run down of the hidden gems in the area, and Pierre Marie even made a reservation on our behalf for a hard to get into Michelin star restaurant.

The apartment by itself is already very comfortable. But it is the combination of the apartment and the hosts that made our stay in Paris perfect. Thank you Pierre Maire and Isabelle.
