Sammuel was very quick to respond to my inquiry about staying in his apartment. He was very friendly and helpful and gave me a packet of information about different things to do in Paris as well as places to eat. Sammuel was out of town, so his friend met us when we got there, showed us around the apartment, and surprised us with a bottle of champagne. The listing description was accurate and we were very comfortable there. The location is perfect for seeing many famous sights by foot as well as very close to public transportation. The Marais neighborhood is also a great place to hang out if you just want to stay close by. It seemed like a safe area, and even though it is very close to many attractions, it is pretty quiet. For the price you would pay for a tiny Paris hotel room, you can stay in this spacious one bedroom apartment. I would definitely recommend Sammuel's Marais apartment if you are looking for a home away from home while visiting Paris!
