This is the perfect rental apartment. It has everything one needs, but is not overly decorated. It is simple and very easy for guests to feel comfortable. The location for visiting the Old Port area could not be better. It is just one or two streets from the port, but out of the busy tourist traffic. Everything we needed was just a short walk away.
We sat out on the balcony daily for much needed rests and refreshments. The view is directly into the Opera square, and is perfect for enjoying time away from the crowds.
Aside from the perfection of the apartment, the owners were kind and extremely helpful. We were met by Arnaud (Anik's son) in the Opera square. Our phones were not working properly, but Arnaud found us in the square and could not have been more helpful. We were also caught in the rail strike and needed to spend an extra night in Marseilles (not a hardship!) before returning to Paris. Arnaud was able to extend our stay for an additional night with no problem. In addition, he gave us great recommendations. Specifically, Le Bistrot des Dames was a great restaurant. Probably one of the best meals we had throughout our 15 days in France.
If you are looking for an apartment that meets all of your needs, with simple comfortable character, and perfect location, this place could not be better!
