Sammuel is an amazing host and his apartment is as beautiful as it looks in the pictures. The location is truly amazing...right in the Marais with all the interesting boutiques and bars nearby, just a few minutes' walk from the Paris City Hall, the Seine, the BHV department store. Pompidou is literally just around the corner. He has a fully equipped kitchen so I was able to cook once when I didn't feel like going out, and the bathroom was clean, modern, and spacious. Even though it's a thriving, popular neighborhood, it was totally quiet in the bedroom at night because it faced the courtyard and I slept extremely well both nights. I would definitely stay at Sammuel's again next time I am in Paris!
