We loved the location and the unit. We would stay here again, and highly recommend Marc Antoine's apartment.

Marc Antoine and his girlfriend met us with half an hour's notice when we arrived earlier than expected and allowed us to leave our baggage at the unit the day we checked out. They explained how the heaters and bedroom shutters operated, showed us how to set up the sleeper sofa, and gave us directions to the Metro and grocery store. They were available to answer questions throughout our stay.

The unit was bright and clean. It had blackout shutters, drapes, and blinds to block the street light at night. It was relatively quiet overnight with the windows closed (too cool to keep them open). The loft beds were perfect for our 8 year old and 4 year old.

The location is on a side street about 100 feet around the corner from the bustling Rue Montorgueil. For those cooking, the butcher, cheese shop, fruit/vegatable market, pastry/bread/sandwich shop and a standard grocery store are all right around the corner. For those going out, there are many restaurants with sidewalk cafes right around the corner. Take away is also an option.

Multiple Metro stops are within 10 minutes walk. Most of the sites we visited were within 20-30 minutes of the apartment on Metro or RER. The Eiffel Tower was furthest at 35-40 minutes away.
