Great base for a Paris vacation. The apartment is fantastically located in the Marais district. Jame's description of local amenities is spot on - the Metro is literally around the corner and there are lots of shops and restaurants within easy walking distance. The apartment itself is huge by Paris standards and for those who are traveling over the summer period (it was 30 degrees Celsius while we visited) has air conditioning in every room, which is quite a rarity in France. James was very responsive through the booking process and the information booklet he has prepared for the apartment is first rate - we pretty much tried all his restaurant recommendations and they were all great.
