My husband and I stayed at Lovely Marais for 4 nights in July and had a wonderful time. Guillaume is the consummate Airbnb host and ensured that our stay was perfect. Excellent English, and prompt responses to emails and any questions that we had (both before and during our stay). Detailed instructions were sent in advance of our holiday and he made us feel extremely welcome.

If you have ever desired to stay in Paris in a cobblestone street in an historic building, this is your chance. In addition, the designers and the top end builders have been in ... the apartment design and total renovation is just gorgeous. Spiral staircase to the second floor, French windows, just Lovely Marais. Being at the rear of the property, the view is of the internal atrium.

The apartment is well situated in Le Marais, an area where we have always wanted to stay. We certainly weren’t disappointed. It is close to shopping, restaurants, cafes, in fact anything to do with food! The apartment is actually in a building with a café/boulangerie downstairs. The street outside is just a buzz with cafes and people.

The proximity to many famous landmarks like the Pompidou Centre, Place des Vosges and the Seine makes walking an easy option. St Paul Metro station is about 400m away, and Pont Marie is a little further. A bus stop with great connections (69, 76, and 96) on the corner of Rue de Rivoli and Rue Vielle du Temple is about 200m away.

The windows could be opened to get fresh air, but apartment living can sometimes mean noise from other residents. Closing the windows fixed any noise problems. We found that the Dyson blade fan in the apartment assisted with air flow and worked well.

We would definitely stay in Guillaume’s apartment again should we be lucky enough to return to Paris, and we will certainly recommend Lovely Marais to all of our friends.
