The location in Le Marais, in the middle of Falafel heaven, is wonderful if you like a lot of activity—which we did! The location itself gets 5 stars and it is wonderful. There is a patisserie close to the apartment, Yann Couvreur, that had irresistible pastries and delicious coffee! We had a little breakfast there most days. The shopping was wonderful.
It is small but perfect for 2 people (who like each other!) 😆 We were only there in the evenings so we didn’t need much room to sleep, shower, and get dressed. I think it would be hard for more than a couple or two friends but we saw in the reviews that a couple with 2 children totally enjoyed their stay. So it sounds like it depends on the kids.
The double/queen bed in the bedroom AND the couch that turns into a doubles bed in the living room are both very comfortable.
There was a problem with the cleaning but it was taken care of immediately. I think Paris is suffering like many Western countries from a labor shortage, especially those who are willing to clean apartments.
The apartment itself needs some attention. The IKEA furniture is old and some of it is dirty and broken (the red chair). The curtain rods all need to be replaced with something much stronger. Because of the way the windows open, a guest can accidentally catch the window and down falls the curtain and the rod.
All in all, Ariel was incredibly responsive to anything we called about. And we were having too much fun during the week to write him about any of this! These are small improvements to make that will make the experience for guests a whole lot better!! 👍
