I live in Paris but when my mother decided to visit for two weeks I needed to find a place big enough for the two of us and especially comfortable for her. I looked all over the Marais (my favorite neighborhood in Paris) and after a long search, at the last minute I had the good fortune of finding Jean's flat which far exceeded all my wishes and expectations.

The flat is perfectly located in the heart of the Marais, a few minutes' walk from the Centre Pompidou, with lots of little cafés and shops on the rue Rambtueau, and very well served by several bus and metro lines just five minutes' walk in any direction. Yet the neighborhood has very little car traffic and is therefore very quiet despite its central location.

Most important, the flat is a real refuge after long days walking all over the city. The flat is exactly what you see in the photos: everything is in order, very clean, nicely decorated with lots of natural light from the big windows in each room, high quality, lovely and sturdy furniture, a fully equipped kitchen with high quality appliances and dishes, a shower with excellent water pressure, two comfortable beds, one harder than the other for everyone's preferences, and lastly, a lovely collection of jazz and classical music. The only thing missing is a full-length mirror for those who need one (we didn't) and he might want to consider a wardrobe for the bedroom. Otherwise everything is perfect!

My mom says: The flat is understated and artistic with the right touches of warmth to create a sense of home. We had everything we needed and it was a joy to come back for a glass of wine while we made dinner in the efficient kitchen...or just rested in the living room with the street entertainment going on outside. I really loved our little place.

Jean is very easy to reach and very welcoming. This was my best Air BnB experience to date!
