Communication in advance was really quick, friendly and helpful. Olivier was at the apartment to meet us, give us the keys and point out a few things, as well as letting us know how to access his excellent music collection. They had even stocked the fridge with a few basics and a bottle of Rosé.

The apartment looks great in the photographs. It's even better in reality: really comfortable and beautifully furnished.

Despite being right in the heart of the Marais the apartment was quiet at night, and perfectly situated in one of the best neighbourhoods in Paris.

We loved it and didn't want to leave.
