Marie was an absolute terrific host. Our train did not arrive until after 10 p.m. at night and she still met us at her apartment. She had water, juice and a good supply of coffee ready for us---so we could have a cup of coffee before we headed out for our first day.
The LOCATION of this apartment is ideal. RIght smack dab in the middle of Le Marais. And, right outside the entrance to the building there is a terrific restaurant (Robert et Louise) and several specialized boutiques---condiments, olive oil, lotion and tea. And, despite being in the middle of everything, Marie's apartment is very private and quiet.
There is a great place for croissants and coffee about a block and a half away. The neighborhood is classic, charming Le Marais---with cafes and boutiques everywhere you look.
The metro is close, the Seine is close, Notre Dame is within easy walking distance.
The layout of the apartment is efficient and there is plenty of room for 2 people to spread out and relax. The bed is comfortable. The bathroom is plenty big. And, having a washer & a dryer was a special treat!
Highly recommend staying here to have an authentic Le Marais/ Parisian experience.
