we had a great stay at Isabelle's apartment. it was just right for the two of us to spend a couple days exploring the city. it is conveniently located close to the metro (under 5 minute walk) and on a main street. there are tons of tasty cafes and restaurants along the canal, so you won't want for anything good to eat. there is also a bakery and a grocery store under a 5 minutes walk away. it is a nice quiet space facing a courtyard, you can almost forget you're in the middle of a big city. it is a very cozy space great for exploring the north end of the Marais neighborhood and the trendy Temple arrondissement.
Isabelle is a great host, and is highly communicative. She checked in with us several times before our arrival to make everything run smoothly. Her type of personal attention and knowledge of the neighborhood is what you miss out on when you rent from a company.
