This is a great flat in a great neighborhood! Marais is really fun, safe, close to all subways, and packed with great restaurants and bars. The apartment itself is as pictured, and the apartment building (typical mix of residential and office spaces organized around a courtyard) is gorgeous and beautifully designed. The flat itself is modern (heated floors!), has a few nice design touches, and the bed is firm and comfortable. The living room was stylish but we found that it wasn’t terribly comfortable. Kitchen is equipped with everything you need, including a Nespresso machine. As others have noted, the water pressure in the shower is a bit low, but there is plenty of hot water to make up for it. Bathroom is great overall.
There is no view, and there isn’t much natural light, as the large window shown in the photos looks out to an interior hallway where people frequently walk by and look in, which we found a bit odd. We kept those curtains closed. The apartment is well away from the streets, which keeps street noise to a minimum despite the busy neighborhood outside. There was some recurring noise from the neighbor or office upstairs who liked to play loud bass music almost constantly throughout the day, but that’s Paris - you hear your neighbors.
The breakfast provided at Le Sevigne was a nice way to start the day, and we enjoyed the coffee and baguette and OJ - just don’t expect bacon and eggs and you’ll be fine. Note that the cafe is closed on Mondays, so no breakfast that day.
Bea is an organized and professional host. Communication was clear, and her partner Markus was on time to let us in and show us around when we arrived. Definitely recommended and we would stay here again.
