Matteo was the most gracious and lovely host. He was patient and really great with communication as our flight was a bit delayed so our arrival time by train into Paris was later than expected. Matteo was at the flat to greet us with a welcoming hello out the window to the street and what a beautiful flat it was! He graciously helped us with our luggage to the flat. The 3 flights of stairs are not for the faint of heart but that is Paris, after all, oui? The space was clean and bright and airy, beautiful windows and views. Nice cross breezes, not hot or stuffy at all. A great closet to hang our clothes in. Lovely bath/shower with nice towels provided for us. So comfortable, like a home away from home. The proximity of the flat to everything you want in Marais is amazing. We walked everywhere from the flat, especially lovely easy walks to Marais shopping, to St Paul area, to Centre Pompidou (amazing!!) and to a favourite restaurant we liked, Chez Julien, by the Seine. Steps to our favourite cafe, Cafe Charlot. The flat is incredibly central to everything, a great fromagerie and boulangeries, fabulous Marais shopping, steps to the metro, walk to museums, cafes and dining, and after walking all day, so lovely to come home to. Thank you so much, Matteo, we loved living the sweet life in the heart of Marais and hope to revisit again in the future! Would come back in a heartbeat! Grazie/Merci!
