My family of 5 visited Paris during the New Year and we were looking for a place to stay close to the attractions with enough space for our family. My friends recommended staying at the Marai district. The hotels were pricy especially since they only allow 2 per room. Norikos place was perfect with a loaded kitchen, washer and dryer, 4 separate bedrooms, 2 showers and a wonderful deep bathtub to take a bath to relax the sore muscles after a day of walking around the city. The apartment was surrounded by boulangeries, hip bars and restaurants and metro stations. It’s also only a short walk from Gare du Est. Noriko was a wonderful responsive host with great recommendations. I would definitely stay here next time I am in Paris.
