The apartment is as lovely and comfortable as it looks and our family had a very enjoyable stay, home from home. The location is very convenient for the centre of Paris on foot and is very near the Bastille metro stop, so also very convenient for transport to further locations. Restaurants in Marais are very good so we were spoilt for choice. The host Cyril was very pleasant and answered all my questions ahead of our trip and despite the late hour of our arrival we were met and shown around with a very warm welcome by his brother.
