Mara’s apartment was very clean and as described. Mara was extra helpful with arranging airport transfers with a private driver. Mara always replied quickly to any communication we made with her both before and during our stay. This place is on an extremely busy and lively and noisy intersection in the bustling Spanish Quarter. This can be good or bad depending what you like. If you desire peace and quiet this apartment is not for you. Street and restaurant noise all day and into the wee hours. We enjoyed this atmosphere and you might too. We did use earplugs at times. Very central location, close to Metro, funicular, and bus stops. Good restaurant directly below. We recommend Mara’s place.
