Polo was very welcoming when we arrived and he tried to accomodate us the best he can despite the complicated situation created by the massive strikes in Paris, with train delays, etc. The apartment is situated inside a building built in the Napolean period and was very comfortable just for the two of us. There are quite a few stairs to climb up but once we overcome them with our heavy suitcases it was okay for the rest of the stay. Location of the place is just perfect! It's at the best part of Paris I would say. I love the cobbled streets and the easy walking distance to all the major sights such as Notre Dame, the Louvre, Musee D'Orsay and the Seine. There are a lot of hip and interesting shops in the neighborhood, the best patisseries, boulangeries, and chocolate stores. I also bought a few paintings right at the gallery downstairs, not to mention our daily pilgramage to the famous candle shop Cira Trudon, which is just right around the corner. The shops that meet your everyday needs, such as the supermarket, the cleaner, and the pharmacy, are all within 5 to 10 minutes walking distance. I love this neighborhood Le Marais and will definitely stay here again in my next trip to Paris. Be sure to try out Polo's restaurant nearby too where the food is great and service staff super friendly!
