Nathalie was a great host. She was always available to assist with needs or answer any questions. She arranged for an early check in and it was perfectly timed. She is an excellent communicator. Nathalie gave us all the information on the television, internet and knowledge of the building and area that we needed. I was very comfortable and accommodated in the apartment. The upstairs loft had a very cozy bed and a fan if it should get warm. The balcony had a lovely view and the neighborhood had a number of main streets which made it easy to walk around or get a cab. With the windows closed the street noise did not bother me. I was staying with my senior parents for about half of my time there. Unfortunately the walk to main attractions, (about 15 minutes walking leisurely to the Seine), the noise from the street and a very active tenant in the building did disturb them. (But to be fair they live out in the very quiet country and I am a city person) Once again I was fine with all of it and slept quite well. Nathalie did offer to speak with the noisy tenant and it did improve. Regular visits from the cat made it feel like home. I met in passing a number of families and other tenants in the building and they were very nice. The neighborhood, while safe, did have some surprises in spots. Very typical of a large city. Yet, I was out and about in the evening and felt content. The building itself is very cool and has an interesting history. Any need or service is right around the corner. Le Marais has many grocery stores and the apartment had great facilities for cooking. The shower was warm and roomy and the washer was great to have, plus there were lots of racks and hangers for drying. Overall it was a very good experience. I would stay again.
