Edith is the most kind, informative and friendly woman. She, her family and her friends are so warm and helpful. She sets up a mini bar for coffe and tea in the bedroom for her guest so you feel very much at home and can participate in a favorite French pastime! The room was large, comfortable and had a gorgeous view of the courtyard (which is nice and quiet compared to the streets). I got partcilarly close with Edith and her family during my stay and I felt more like I was family visiting than a stranger. I was truly sad to leave. It was such a wonderful experience and the location is absolutely perfect. I love the Marais and the apartment is located in the heart (and right next to my favorite crêperie Suzette). From the beautiful courtyard to the shops and markets in the streets, Edith's apt and the marais are very charming, it's the quentissental French experience that you travel to France to enjoy and I can't recommend staying there enough. Edith's hospitality just makes it all the more amazing!! I can't imagine staying anywhere else when I come to visit and want to stay in the Marais!
