The apartment was exactly as it appears in the pictures. it was very clean and organized. Cecile gave us very good instructions for checking in and made us feel very welcome. She left a booklet on the coffee table with the answers to most questions on how to operate all of the appliances and also left the check out instructions. The apartment had pretty much all the conveniences of home.
We loved the neighborhood. The Marais district has wonderful restaurants, cafes and bakeries just steps from the front of the apartment. We used Yelp to help us find little restaurants that catered to my wife and daughter who are vegetarians. We had wonderful meals everywhere we went. Transportation was easily found. The subway is near the Hotel deVille, a short walk from the apartment and catching a cab was easy on Rue de Rivoli, just a short walk across the plaza. We had a fabulous time.
