We loved our ten night stay in Marie's apartment. It was in a fabulous location right on Rue Montorgueil which is a fun, busy market street with tons of cafes and food stores. It also has great metro access to everywhere in the city because so many metro and subway lines are right at Les Halles and Chatelet. We also could walk to many areas as well that weren't far like the Marais area or over to the left bank. The apartment was very spacious with a nice size kitchen ( loved having the washing machine), dining table, separate TV room with a couch, upstairs bedroom and nice size bathroom. The upstairs bedroom is accessed from a steep spiral staircase so that could be a problem if you have mobility issues. The furnishings are modern and in excellent condition. It was also wonderful to have an additional toilet on the downstairs level so that was really appreciated. We happened to be in Paris when there was an unusual heat spell so we missed having an air conditioner but we opened the windows and used the bedroom fan so that helped. It was also nice to have an elevator in the building since it's on the fifth floor and I know many buildings in Paris don't always have an elevator.
Marie was a wonderful hostess. She promptly answered any questions I had and just was very nice. She made us feel welcome and I would love to come back and stay again at another time. Thanks for a wonderful home away from home in Paris.
