I have been to Paris many times, staying in hotels, clubs and apartments. Yet staying at Marie-Helene's marvelous apartment was by far the best experience ever. This place is "industrial chic" at its most authentic. A repurposed warehouse, the space is huge and situated on three levels. Art fills the place (so if you have little ones, this isn't the best choice for you). The bed was so comfortable, and the place was spotless! The location is within a couple of blocks of Les Halles, a large walking shopping mall, and a large and lively greenspace. My Shetland Sheepdog really appreciated that part! Marie-Helene made sure I was welcomed, and she kept up communication throughout my stay. I will certainly be returning here -- it has become my Paris home!
