A great place to launch your tour or stay in Paris, especially if you are a first time visitor. Your hostess Nastaza is one of the best host/hostesses we've ever experienced on AirBnb, with lots of tips and orientation for visitors. There are books filled out with recommendations of previous guests to point you in the right directions. At this flat you're steps away from Metro line 1, allowing you to get anywhere in the city quickly and efficiently, and set along streets filled with great shopping and restaurants. The flat is clean and charming in the old Parisian way with modern amenities for a nice meal, a quick television morning watch in English allows you to preview any issues that might be happening around Paris, washing up the laundry, etc. The heat works incredibly well on cold days and allows you to come home to a very cozy space. Two caveats, which are entirely subjective: some people complain about the stairs, there are many (three floors) up to the flat, but really this is entirely typical in all European cities. If you're sensitive to night time/early morning noises, it might be worth considering a different area of the city; Le Marais is lively and full of city noises.
