Diane's apartment is wonderful! The location is perfect, a short walk from the Metro and you can easily walk to the river or into the Marais. The area is busy with lots of great restaurants and shops, but the apartment itself looks out onto a central courtyard so is quiet and peaceful, just what you need after a day walking around Paris. We had everything we needed and there is plenty of space to relax - and a very comfy bed. Yes there are a lot of stairs to climb, but we got used to those and it was definitely worth it. Diane is a very helpful and friendly host and check in/out were easy. It was a pleasure to meet you Diane and to stay in your lovely home - we hope to be back in the near future. Merci beaucoup!
