Our stay at Guillaume's magnificent apartment was amazing! The neighborhood is a total dream. My boyfriend and I spent Thanksgiving week in Paris and when planning our trip we had heard through some friends that the best neighborhood to stay in is Le Marais if we want a true authentic "live like a Parisian" experience (and avoid a lot of the touristy areas). We live in New York City and if you're looking for the feel of the magical and quaint West Village neighborhood, then Le Marais is even better than that! The apartment is on Rue de Rosiers which is a wonderful street lined with bakeries, clothing shops, coffee shops, restaurants - you name it, all the action is here - along with the world's best falafel place! The apartment is a great size for two people and very well kept and decorated with beautiful modern kitchen and appliances. It is on the second floor which is great because you don't have to carry tons of luggage up several flights of stairs.
Guillaume was an awesome host - all of the reviews are true! He was not in town during our stay but he was extremely helpful from the start and sent us very clear instructions of how to access the apartment along with a list of his favorite places in the neighborhood - he even went above and beyond and called to make us dinner reservations at his favorite restaurant which was delicious. He checked in with us to make sure we were okay and made himself available anytime we had questions. We wish all Airbnb hosts were just like Guillaume because he made our trip very easy and welcoming so that we could focus on having a great time in such a beautiful city. We let Guillaume know that we would love to meet him and take him out in NYC whenever he visits! We can't wait to go back to Paris and hopefully stay at his place again. I promise you will not be disappointed with this choice.
