I can't imagine a better base for a stay in Paris. The apartment itself is just perfect in every way (unless being on the 3rd floor with no lift is an issue). Marguerite was prompt and helpful in prior communications, and on our arrival. The apartment is in a gorgeous 18th century building, and you feel like you are living the life of a Parisien. It's a very short walk to Republique metro station, where it is a 1.80euro hop to anywhere. Marguerite's apartment is chic and artistic and all the things you need to use are beautiful and function well. There is no TV, but we didn't care about that. Absolutely charming airbnb - and we have stayed in a few in different cities. This is by far the best.
