I stayed in this apartment for two weeks and enjoyed it thoroughly. It is very quiet and comfortable, as well as impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, and very well-equipped. The TV is excellent with many channels. It has generous closet and drawer space. It is also very secure--I felt quite safe as a single woman. Christophe and Philippe gave me a most warm welcome, which included a bottle of wine. When I arrived, Christophe spent a lot of time showing me the apartment, explaining how to use the appliances (all of which are very modern and easy to use.) They also have a binder full of helpful information for the apartment and for the neighborhood. Christophe gave me a tour of the neighborhood (quite lively and interesting!), showing me his favorite restaurants, produce stores, bakeries, meat and fish markets, supermarkets, etc. One or both of them is always available by phone, e-mail or texting to answer questions. The location is also very appealing; the Marais, the Centre Pompidou, the Canal St. Martin, and many other attractions are in walking distance, and the nearest metro stop--Strasbourg-St. Denis--is a 3-minute walk away and has lines with very convenient and efficient connections. This apartment exceeded my expectations. Christophe and Philippe are warm and thoughtful hosts, anticipating all their guests' needs.
