The apartment was lovely and the neighborhood really friendly and well located. It sits right on the edge of Le Marais, a part of Paris which is wonderful to walk around and experience. It's also very convenient for those who want easy access to the 'obvious' sites to visit in Paris, either on foot (The Seine, Notre Dame and The Louvre, for example) or via Le Metro (the nearest station is 3mins walk away). This really suited my young-ish family! Carole couldn't have been more accommodating and helpful. She, and her mother, were so kind and helpful to us.
