I can most definitely recommend Judith's beautiful flat. It was the perfect Parisian experience. We entered from the huge wooden door on the street and came into the quaint courtyard. The flat is at the top of a beautiful old staircase and was wonderful. It's a great space for 2 people and felt spacious and open. We loved the curved book shelves filled with French novels, the little writing desk where I could imagine myself writing a bestseller while looking at the stunning National Archives building for inspiration. The bathroom was well laid out with a huge walk-in shower and separate loo.

We loved meeting Judith's charming cleaning lady who had thought to buy us warm bread and took real care in explaining everything to us. There were even beautiful fresh flowers waiting for us on the table and a Diptyque candle to burn too. Perfect! There were even spare rain macs in the wardrobe should the weather turn. Lovely attention to detail.

Le Marais is one of the best places to stay in Paris. There are so many gorgeous restaurants nearby and lots of shops too. You're also walking distance from Notre Dame and the river. There is a Velib station close to the flat which we braved although Parisian drivers take no prisoners so be careful!

Judith was incredibly helpful and easy to get hold of before/after stay so that was fabulous.

I would have no hesitation in recommending this charming flat and my boyfriend and I hope to visit again.
