Comfortable, quiet, well situated for visiting major attractions. Lots of shops, restaurants and services in the Marais district. Very close to Les Halles, where the RER comes in from CDG airport. Apartment is 3 flights up, but we became used to the stairs. Check in was a breeze, as Charles met us with the keys. He very kindly allowed us to check in as soon as we arrived from our flight; our friends who stayed in a hotel had to wait many hours for their room to become available. Charles speaks English and was most hospitable.
