I stayed 19 nights at Emmanuel’s. I have visited Paris 15 times in the last 20 years and highly recommend Emmanuel’s place.
Positives
Location:
Located in the best area of Paris, the Marais. Wonderful view of the Musée Carnavelet from the apartment window. Metro stops Saint Paul - ligne 1 and Breguet-Sabin - ligne 5 a few minutes away.
Apartment:
Very secure, two secure doors to enter the apartment. On the third floor with elevator. A real plus when arriving/leaving with baggage. Apartment is clean with bed, dining table and chairs, oven, kitchen supplies and dishes, cooktop elements, washer, wonderful bathroom and shower, TV with basic French channels.
Host/Emmanuel:
Wonderful host, very communicative, friendly and professional. Emmanuel lives next door but respects your privacy. All communication is through Airbnb. He will not enter your apartment during your stay without first requesting. Very convenient if you have any questions about the apartment or Paris.
Negatives or items of note:
The kitchen is small without much counter space.
There is a washer but no dryer. A drying rack is provided and clothes dry quickly.
No microwave but the stove top and oven (a real plus) compensate.
Conclusion
A great little apartment, great value for the price and a wonderful host.
Highly recommended and looking forward to my next trip to Paris and stay at Emmanuel’s apartment.
