The apartment is lovely, with multiple balconies (which is very rare in Paris). The building is exquisitely quiet, a nice getaway from some of the hustle and bustle of the Marais around it. At the same time it is close to everything a traveler might need. A note about the host, Michaele--she is more like a concierge at a five star hotel than just a host. She stocked the apartment with a little bit of everything I could possibly have wanted before my arrival, not knowing my tastes, and checked in regularly (via email, not invasive) to see if there was anything else I might need along the way. She's happy to give advice on any questions you might have, and is a genuinely kind and wonderful person. Check in and check out were both as simple as could be. For a stay in Paris, I cannot rate the experience highly enough.
