Amaury's apartment is the perfect place for a single traveller or a couple wanting to stay in Le Marais but not spend a bomb on accommodation. The aesthetic/decoration is completely charming and elegantly French, and waking to that view down Rue des Archives every morning is just a dream. The living room/kitchen is a smartly designed space – the kitchen can be closed away in a closet! – and the bedroom is so spacious, airy and bright. A little noisy from the street below if you sleep with the window open, but again nothing a city dweller can't cope with. The bathroom may be tiny but if you’re used to small apartment living that's not a problem, and the shower is awesome – if you know and fear French plumbing, there's no need to worry about this shower, because the water pressure and drainage are brilliant.
As for the neighbourhood, the apartment is steps away from everything you'd want to see close by in Le Marais, and just a short walk to the Métro if you want to explore further – not to mention easily accessible from/to the airport via the train and a short walk. There are tonnes of classic brasseries, hipster cafés, wine bars and restaurants nearby, or you can walk or catch the Métro to anywhere else in the city. Checking in and out was totally easy, and Amaury was always easy and quick to communicate with, as well as very accommodating of our checkin and checkout times. Couldn't recommend this charming apartment more – it was our perfect Parisian home for a week.
