The apartment is beautiful, spacious, and light-filled. The location is absolutely perfect - right in the heart of Marais, a quick walk to Place des Vosges, the river Seine, shopping, and cafes. Truly could not have been in a better spot. The elevator also made hauling luggage much easier. Philippe was quick to reply and easy to communicate with. The only downside was that there is construction in the building that started at 8:00 AM sharp during weekdays, and lasted with consistent hammering throughout the day. Luckily we were out and about most of the day, but if you plan to work where you stay, this would be difficult with the noise. We also found the amenities a bit lacking, and had to go out to buy our own hand soap and shower toiletries. There also was not a hair dryer in the unit, so be sure to bring your own plus adapters for outlets if you are traveling from outside of the country. Lastly, the windows are beautiful when open but we had quite a few flies in the unit when they were open. Overall the good outweighed these few things, but would have liked to have known prior to our arrival so we knew what to expect.
