The accommodation does not disappoint. In addition, Pascal, the property manager (owner) was marvellous to deal with. From accommodating our changing arrival schedule, to taking the time to explain all aspects of the apartment, he made certain that our stay was as carefree as possible. The apartment itself has a very modern clothes washer/dryer that was great, as is the dishwasher. Great shower. A/C unit kept us cool during our entire stay. Kitchen was well equipped for making meals...even had a Nespresso machine ( which Pascal explained how to operate ). Pascal has also put together a very detailed operating manual which explains how to operate everything in the apartment, including how to get English TV channels (although why you would waste your time watching TV in Paris is beyond me). As a family of four, we used the foldout couch for our two teenage children, which worked well. Very easy to unfold in the evening and fold up in the morning.

The Marais district where the apartment is located is a very lively district with lots of great late night eateries, yet even with the window open at night it was not noisy. One word of advice, the apartment would NOT be suitable for anyone with mobility issues and if you were planning on bringing a steamer trunk and three suitcases, you may want to reevaluate, as the apartment is on the fourth floor (fifth floor for North Americans). The apartment is very close to Metro (subway) line one (3 minute walk) so access to anywhere in Paris is very easy. It is also very close to grocery stores, a great cheese shop, a fantastic gelato cafe, and numerous boulangeries. You really can't go wrong with renting this apartment - it definitely exceeded our expectations.
