We absolutely loved this place and feeling like Parisians for the week! This apartment is a step above any other AirBNB we've stayed in. The owner has a beautiful eye for art, design and furnishing, and it was spacious, clean, functional, comfortable, and atmospheric. The neighborhood is fabulous for food lovers -- near Du Pain et Des Idees, perhaps the best bakery in Paris, also close to Pierre Herme for macarons, Jacques Genin for caramels, and the Marche des Enfants Rouge for many different food stalls, fromageries, etc. One block from Republique metro and 15 minutes into the heart of the Marais. Many wonderful small touches such as excellent coffee machine, well-equipped kitchen, towel warmer and fancy toilet in upstairs bathroom, Japanese plates for a much-needed sushi night! Too many wonderful things to count. Oh, and the master bedroom bed is super comfortable and has dreamy views of the Paris rooftops! The place was ideal for our family of four because it's a two-story unit with two bathrooms. Probably not good for young children -- the stairway to the upstairs is steep and has railings on only one side. The host was VERY responsive and helpful before and during our trip. All in all, an absolutely wonderful stay! Merci beaucoup!
