Matthieu's apartment was perfectly fine for us. We really appreciated the cleanliness and the quiet and the comfortable bed where we slept well. Easy walk to Bastille Opera and Le Marais. Matthieu's recommendations for local restaurants, patisseries, and markets was very helpful and we patronized most of those places several times. By the end of our nine-night stay we felt at home there and in the neighborhood. The shower stall is a squeeze into a tight space, as is the WC/toilet, which we managed fine but more hefty people might have problems with it.
