April, 2009 This is a very nice, clean, remodeled place on a pedestrian only street. Downstairs there are 3 outdoor restaurants and a Metro station is about 100 yds away. Notre Dame and the Louvre are within walking distance. The unit is a 1 bedroom with a sofa sleeper that took care of my wife and I and two teenage daughters. This is a no brainer decision. Paul is very helpful and trustworthy. I believe we wired the money directly into his account. Have fun Norval Prakash NorPrakash aol com

date entered: 02/08/2005 homeowner-added comment: Paul (of MaraisFlat com) this was the best location to be in Paris. The apartment was indeed luxurious and very comfortable. The best compliment was perhaps that everything was as you described it on the internet. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Hope to be back. guest name: G.
