Marianne‘s apartment is a charming refuge in a very bustling part of the city. It is situated at the edge of one of the new pedestrian-only neighborhoods in Paris, which are really wonderful. Cafes spill out into the pedestrian streets and there are an abundance of bakeries, groceries, natural food stores, etc in the area.
The apartment opens at one end onto the inner courtyard and the other onto the street. We were there in July, with daytime temperatures of around 80, and kept the windows open durning the day. There is a magnificent cross breeze in the apartment and we were never hot (as we have been in other Paris apartments).
Marianne has decorated her home with thoughtful care, and it feels both quintessentially Parisian and entirely her own. As an Airbnb experience it very much gives her guests a real sense of living in this little piece of Paris. We really enjoyed our time here, and recommend it wholeheartedly.
