Gauthier is a superbly nice host, and quickly answers requests. A minimalist apartment in a classic historic building. There no elevator, but the apartment is only 2 flights up and there is only one apartment on each floor. The location is superb on a very charming street in heart of the best part of the Marais, with hundreds of quaint bars, great restaurants, markets, fabulous shopping and even the giant BHV department store only a few minutes walk away. The Fondation Azzedine Alaïa is just a few steps away and the Pompidou Center and busy Chatelet area are about 5 minutes walk. It’s a quiet street that exemplifies the classic Marais style of old Paris. The bed is comfortable, soft linens, and connects directly to the bathroom. The toilet is in its own separate area. Efficient kitchen with everything needed to make a meal and serve it on the dining room table in the main room. Excellent Wi-Fi. Great heating. Note: there is no tv or stereo, but you have the Marais for entertainment!
