My hubby, son and I had a wonderful week at Djibril's apartment in the Marais. Its location is second to none (really, it's difficult to imagine a better location for a short term visit to Paris) and though it's just off a bustling square and in the heart of everything, it is very quiet and peaceful. There is a small supermarket, restaurants and bars, boulangeries and parisseries just outside your door. We walked all over the city, but there is a selection of metro stations nearby if you need them.

The kitchen and bathroom/laundry are fully equipped and the bed is comfy. There is space for a baby cot in the bedroom if you push the bed over a bit, which was perfect for us. Be sure to note that there is no elevator in the building (which we were aware of and which wasn't a problem), and you'll have to carry everything up the stairs.

Djibril was a very helpful host from afar, and always contactable if we needed him. I would highly recommend Djibril's apartment and Djibril as a host to anyone.
