Communications with Nicolas were easy and he checked in with us to make sure we were comfortably settled in (even though he was out of town when we arrived). The apartment is neat and tidy, with everything we needed including fast wifi, a washer/dryer, split of Champagne in the fridge (great for our picnic in a park after visiting a museum), and a manual explaining everything about the apartment (illustrated with photos of the remote controls). Note: this apartment is not air-conditioned, but there is an oscillating fan. Fortunately, the Paris heat wave had broken by the time we arrived! We loved the location in the Marais, a short walk to your choice of 2 Metro stops. This is our third vacation in Paris and we loved the neighborhood -- our best stay!
