Shirley’s place is wonderful! We had a lovely two week stay in her apartment in the Marais. We were just a few minutes’ walk to major attractions such at the Louvre and Notre Dame while being far enough from other tourists to feel like we were in a real neighborhood. The apartment has incredible light, a nicely stocked kitchen, and is very cozy. The bed is very comfortable and the apartment is blissfully quiet. Shirley is a perfect and very accommodating Airbnb host and provided immediate and friendly responses to all questions. Kiwi the cat was a great host and greeted us every day when we came home. If you want to escape the crowds and feel like you have a stylish, wonderful home in the real Paris, this is it!
