we got in 1 hour later than the original planned time and Marie was very gracious about it. despite the rain, she came to get us very quickly and got us settled in.

the apartment is very well located to the Les Halles / Chatelet station and easy to get to from Airport or the Eurostar train station. it is in area 1 and so you can practically walk to many of the attractions. however, we found the best part to be the fact that it is RIGHT in the middle of the best restaurant street in town! i personally like the restaurant just opposite the house which serves very homely french food - escargot, duck confit and such.

the apartment is old (as would be in many parts of paris, i think), but kept clean. the heaters work perfectly and kept us warm (we went in end March). there are many facilities - internet, TV, 2 toilets, kitchen with stoves and microwave, fridge, dishwasher and washing machine! there is a lift to the apartment so dont worry about your luggages.

i would definitely recommend this place for travellers who want convenience and location.
