Our family of two adults and two college-age children stayed in this lovely apartment for three weeks. I cannot say enough about the great care Louis took to make sure every aspect of our stay fit our living style and personal interests. The sunny, historic apartment was terrific: spotless, charming, and bright. We loved seeing the Pompidou at the end of our street, while feeling far from the noise of tourists. We particularly like the open aspect of the space, the quiet bedrooms in the back (great sleeping), and the expansive layout that allowed for us to go our separate ways while reading, cooking, napping, working, etc. From our central location in the Marais we were able to walk nearly everywhere. When we didn't walk, we never waited more than 2 minutes for a cab, and we were right around the corner from a metro stop. The neighborhood is like a small village with several cafes, a cheese shop, two wine shops, a chocolate store, a fishmonger, a grocery store, a produce market, and several fine bakeries and restaurants. Thanks to Eric and Louis, we were introduced to several of the proprietors and received excellent service and special treatment whenever we shopped on the quaint nearby streets. Louis went out of his way to connect us with excellent tour guides who gave us a true Parisian view of hidden treasures around and outside the city. He also never missed a beat with his recommendations for restaurants, where we often received preferential treatment when his name was dropped. Eric is a talented chef and simply a warm and delightful character who provided private shopping and cooking lessons, complete with wine pairing. With his personalized instruction, we spent a tremendously fun afternoon preparing a delicious, four-course dinner for Christmas Eve. As if all of this was not more than enough, on our last day, when we ran into great difficulties with our return airline reservations, Louis jumped in to help make our last day as wonderful as our first. Throughout our stay, he checked in via email several times to ensure that we were doing well, having fun, and enjoying the apartment. Louis and Eric feel more like friends than apartment owners/managers and the "Angels" apartment seems like a home away from home. We have traveled extensively but this personalized service was a first.
