William is a very responsive and helpful host. He met us at the apartment upon our arrival and was happy to let us in early in the day after our 8:30 am arrival from NY. The apartment was fastidiously clean and well-stocked, including coffee and condiments in the kitchen. Beds are comfortable, the plumbing is modern and the apartment looks just as it is pictured.

Despite its central location, the apartment is extremely quiet. The Marais is a bustling, active neighborhood - there is always something going on and it is a fun place to stay. We were there with a five year old boy and were happy to find a number of small playgrounds for him to run off some energy, as well as a carousel at the St. Paul subway stop. This was our first experience with Airbnb and our first time staying in an apartment rather than a hotel (we usually stay at the Bristol, one of the best hotels in Paris). I would definitely stay with William again.
