Wonderful stay in great apartment with fabulous host. The apartment (2 floors) was terrific for mom and two teenage girls' trip. We stayed for 9 nights and the apartment was perfect size. We had room to relax, have breakfast and dinner when we brought our market place finds back and to unwind from busy days touring. Great comfortable beds. It was spotlessly clean!! Teens shared a room with each having their own twin bed which was one of most important factors for our choice of locations. On top of that mom had her own bedroom with queen sized bed. Sheets and plenty of fluffy towels that were extra deluxe. Deborah even provided hotel deluxe Turkish bathrobes!! Each bedroom had its own bathroom with rainfall showers plus powder room (toilet) on the first level. Lots of closet and drawer space. Deborah was hands down the most responsive host we have ever had. She answered our calls immediately or called back within 15 minutes ( even if we didn't leave a message she called back upon seeing that we had called). The apartment was fully stocked with toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, laundry soap, cleaning supplies, kitchen pans, plates, glasses cutlery, fan, vacuum, delohngi coffee machine with full assortment of coffee capsules and spices. Upon arrival we were promptly met and even given starter groceries of bread, fruit and water! The apartment was in back of courtyard and building is mostly occupied by families and professionals. so it was quiet. The area outside the apartment was lively, on edge of 11th and 4th arrondisements --filled with fashionable clothing shops, cafes, bistros and about a block away very hip bars. Don't miss East Mama for fire roasted authentic Italian pizza when you want a break from the traditional French bistro fare. No reservations so get there 45 min before opening to get in line. Approximately three block (5minute) walk to place du Bastille and about 1.2miles (20 minute casual walk) to heart of Marais. There is one of the best open air markets in Paris just off the Bastille center on Thursday and Sunday (bigger on Sunday) amazing fish, produce bread meats, cheese plus flea market style clothing and souvenir booths. At end of our stay there was a heat wave so we had all the windows open. They are giant swing in wall size windows, without screens. But very few bugs in June. There was one fan, but with 90-100 F / 38 C it was pretty hot. We knew going in that there was no A/C so we were fine. Overall this was the perfect spot for us. M
