Blaise was an absolute pleasure, the flat was marvelous and the neighborhood was so great and super central [literally you can walk downstairs and find anything within a block... food, coffee shops, groceries, shopping, etc.]. Though he was not around the day I arrived and we used BnbSitter, the entire process was seamless and Blaise was very quick to respond to any random questions I had—I got sick, needed a doctor and he provided info to sosmedecins.fr [which is an easy and fairly inexpensive house-call doctor service if you find yourself in the same situation]. The apartment is very well kept, clean, modern and well-stocked with everything you need to make you feel at home. I was traveling with a friend and the area with the pull-out bed practically served as a second bedroom. Super spacious, overall. Perhaps I didn't read the listing as carefully as I thought, but upon arrival I was surprised to learn it was on the fifth floor with no lift. Note if you like to overpack like I do, but once you get passed that first haul with luggage, the stairs are part of the Parisian charm. I expected the neighborhood to be lively and central, to my surprise it was that and more! Would absolutely stay here again and recommend this place to someone looking to live like a local in Le Marais.
