We spent 16 days at the apartment this past September and enjoyed our stay very much. Our host, Carole, graciously allowed us to check in a few hours earlier than official check in time and helped us get our luggage to the apartment, which is one flight up. She was helpful, friendly and accommodating throughout our stay.
The apartment was very spacious, with nice furnishings in a lovely, lush and private courtyard setting. We were able to prepare breakfast every day and also several dinners on days we did not dine at restaurants. There is no oven, so dinners were prepared stove top.
We came to the apartment after a 12 day cruise and the first day after arriving, I tested positive for COVID. Carole, our wonderful host was able to book a doctor’s appointment for me for that very evening! Happily it was a mild case and although I needed to quarantine, I felt fine by the next day. Because I had COVID, I spent 8 days sleeping on the couch in an effort to protect my wife from catching it. Because of this, I can testify that the couch is quite comfortable and the apartment can very comfortably accommodate a third person.
In addition, the apartment is well located at the edge of the Marais, walking distance to Places des Vosges, and walking distance to two very interesting markets: Marché couvert des enfants rouge, and Marché Bastille. We particularly loved Marché Bastille and brought our children souvenirs that we purchased there.
Definitely recommend for up to three adults or to a family with two young children!
