Marie's apartment was a great home base for our trip to Paris. It was centrally located and we could walk to nearly every location we planned to see. The apartment building itself is very cool and very European with it's massive wooden entry doors and marble spiral staircase. The few people we ran into in the hallways during our stay were friendly. Check in was seamless; we were a bit early, but Marie's housekeeper stashed our luggage, so we could take the opportunity to have an espresso and explore the gardens across the street. The apartment was charming and nicely appointed. Though it was a little smaller than expected, it was still plenty big for two or a small family. Using Marie's notes we easily found groceries and everything else we needed for the week. Check out again was super easy, we just let Marie know when we were leaving for the airport and let ourselves out. Overall, would definitely stay here again next time I'm in Paris for work.
