We had a lovely time at Marine’s apartment! The conversation with her right from the time of booking to the request for early checkin and checkout was always smooth and easygoing. She was really friendly and warm and even gave us helpful tips regarding restaurants and transport.
The apartment is located about 35mins or so from the main touristy area - Eiffel Tower, River Seine etc. but the number 58 bus is right outside her house which makes commute a breeze. There is even the Plaisance Metro station around 7 mins walk away or 15-20min Uber ride is an option for around €11-18 depending surge prices. We much preferred her location and the spacious villa as opposed to a matchbox size hotel rooms in the crowded city centre since ours was a 4 day stay.
Her villa itself is exactly like described in the pictures and was perfect for our family of 4, all adults. There is one room + big sitting area in the basement (the stairs are slightly steep but no problem for us!) and another room, bathroom and living room on the top floor, where you enter from. Everything was so well designed, impeccably clean and well-stocked right from the kitchenware, linen to toiletries - making our stay very comfortable. Having a powerful heater, washer and dryer within the house was a blessing as Paris was chilly when we were there.
The area is super safe and residential with lots of restaurants, takeaway joints and bakeries around. A true taste of Parisian living which we loved! Our favorite was the La Banette bakery just round the corner for a breakfast fix - most amazing tarts and fresh breads.
Overall would highly recommend this apartment to all. Don’t think twice - just book it! We’ll definitely be staying here again the next time we are back in Paris. Thank you Marine :)
