Emma and her team are absolutely incredible and hands down the best hosts we’ve ever had. I had read other reviews saying the same thing and was shocked that they were able to overdeliver... Their hospitality started even weeks before we arrived and continued through our entire stay. They provide manuals that cover nearly everything you need to know from transportation options to restaurant recommendations to home appliance instructions. But they’re also on stand by for anything else you may need - we visited during COVID and were required to get tested so she provided us a map of the closest pharmacies and called them to confirm they provided testing (there are many close by). Emma can also speak English well so communication was never an issue. The entire time is very welcoming and went above and beyond for us.
The apartment is in a very convenient location near one of the major train stations as well as a metro, but is also on a quiet street. A lot of great restaurants and bars are close by as well. Personally, I like Bastille because it’s next to popular Le Marais with its charming shops, restaurants and nightlife but it’s away from the chaos.
The apartment itself is quite roomy and comfortable and looks just as it appears in the photos. It was also full of really thoughtful touches (sewing kits, beauty masks, etc) that made it feel like home. We didn’t make a meal there but the kitchen seemed well stocked.
I would highly recommend a stay here as we will definitely stay here again when we return. Don’t miss the chance to experience the incredible hospitality of Emma and team! They will make your time in beautiful Paris that much more wonderful.
