Marie's apartment is perfectly located in the heart of the Marais, not far from the Seine. The Jewish street is right around the corner. The apartment is smaller than it appears in photos, but is very adequate for 2--3 people. Charlene, Marie's assistant, greeted us upon arrival, despite our having to change arrival times twice due to airline rescheduling/rerouting. Be sure to travel with a working phone so you can communicate with Charlene about delays. You cannot get through the door from the street, nor in the door from the courtyard or into the apartment without keys, so an in-person arrival meeting is necessary. The apartment is up one flight, but an elevator is available. The kitchen is small, but equipped well, and there are food shops and stores quite close. The street outside is very busy with people late into the night, but the double windows keep the noise out well, except when the weather requires opening them. Marie provides fans. A bike stand for Velib is just down the block. We rented and rode bikes all over the city for 7 days. We would stay at this apartment again should we be lucky enough to return to la belle cite de Paris.
