Joanna’s flat, in the heart of the arts and metiers district, is a great location if you want to be in the heart of the happening Marais. Close to many wonderful shops and restaurants… As well as quintessential Parisian market streets. We loved the diverse restaurants that were right next door including a handmade Chinese noodle shop, a Moroccan restaurant and a Japanese bento restaurant, to name just a few of many!
The apartment itself is small, dark, and quite cool in the rainy winter, even with the many heaters. It’s also quite rustic. You have to go up one flight of stairs, which isn’t bad, unless you have a lot of luggage!
Joanna herself is so lovely and accommodating and let us drop our things at the flat way sooner than our check-in time. She also came to greet us. Please be aware, if you’re taking an overnight flight from the US east coast, you may get in quite early and will have to find something to do between then and check-in.
