This apartment is perfect. As they say: Location, location, location. It is in the heart of the 3rd district in the Marais and close to two different Metro stops (Chemin Vert and St. Paul) and one block from the beautiful Place de Vosges. Right next door are two grocery stores which added to the convenience. Three bedrooms easily accommodated us (4 women - 3 in our 50's and one 75 years old). The building has an elevator and their is a private courtyard which is very quiet. We had no trouble at all meeting Michel when we arrived. He was just wonderful. He is extremely responsive and accommodating (especially when we had to ask him how to operate the washing machine!). The kitchen is modern, the living room and dining room are huge and the three bedrooms are very comfortable. We would highly recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Paris. Previously we had stayed at a hotel where we were surrounded by tourist traps but staying in the Marais we felt at home, just as if we were true Parisians - it was lovely!
