5 star experience across the board. First thing, let’s talk about the communication. Nathalie responds quickly and is very helpful. That was the first good sign.
Second. The amazing location!!! You would walk easily to restaurants, wine bars, high end shopping, boulangeries, pâtisseries, bars. Being this close to everything it was completely quiet in the place. The train station we arrived in (Gare du Nord) was a quick metro trip from Étienne Marcel which is a few blocks from the place.
Third, the place. If you have seen House Hunters Paris and seen the Marais apartments this fits the bill perfectly. You feel like you are staying in a piece of history here. It is tiny, yes, but it is perfect for the stay. The living room couch folds out into the bed and the bed is comfortable. I had my reservations about a fold out bed, but this was perfect and I woke up some mornings not wanting to leave the bed. The bedding and pillows were prefect. The kitchen is small, but I wasn’t there to cook, so I didn’t care. The bathroom is small, sure, but I am 6’4” and the shower was fine for me. I was able to relax in a hot shower and not have to bow my head down to use it. The washer and dryer was a BIG plus for us as we needed to wash clothes while there.And that balcony!!! What a peaceful looking balcony. If the weather would have been warmer I would have brought back dinner and wine just for that balcony.
There was a Nespresso machine which we used to get a coffee boost every morning. Overall, you will love this charming Parisian getaway.
