Others reviews reflect our experience. Arnaud is a wonderful host!! He was going on vacation and stayed in touch with us to help us with lost luggage and some other things. Always available- a really sweet guy. The apartment is perfectly situated in the Marais, close to everything, safe for walking at night and a comfortable and very nice apartment. It has everything you need. Lovely roof terrace views if you have breakfast or relax in the apartment. As others mention, If you are bothered by the odor of cigarettes,(in the towels/sheets) this is an apartment of a smoker. There are some people who may be bothered so I mention this.For me, it was a small matter compared to everything else that was just perfect for our 6 night stay in Paris.
