The apartment looks just like the pictures, and was very clean and comfortable. We appreciated the great design and the open feeling of the room. The apartment is quiet and you don't hear a lot of street noise, but you have a great view from the window. We were so pleased with the location as it felt like we were living like the locals (and not just in some touristy hub). From Le Marais, you can walk to Latin Quarter and St. Germain, Notre Dame, the Seine - everything is close by. Carole was on time to meet us and most welcoming! She described some things of interest and restaurants we might try in the neighborhood, and spent time to show us around inside the apartment and how everything works. Carole will contact you well before your arrival, and is very responsive through out.
