Sammuel’s apartment was as the pictures advertise with a spacious living room, kitchenette with Nespresso maker, nice bathroom, comfortable bed and well located in the Marais. We would rent it again and recommend you do the same.

Nearby are cafes, restaurants, a grocery store (“Monoprix”) and lots of bakeries, patisseries, fruit and vegetable stands, cheese stores and butchers. There was also a washer dryer (same machine) which didn’t hold a lot and didn’t dry too well, but was good enough for socks, underwear, and light garments. Heavier clothes took a while to finish drying, but it helped us pack lighter nonetheless. We did not cook but did make use of the fridge for meat and cheese and wine. The bathroom was nice and big enough to move around.

The neighborhood is nice, seemed safe and within walking distance of a Metro stop and many sights. It took us a little while to find the apartment the first time, but nothing in Paris is easy to find the first time because of the street layout, especially when you are walking with luggage in a city you have never visited before! We called Quian who met us at the apartment, gave us the key and showed us the apartment. Overall a great experience and a good value especially compared to hotels, thanks Samuel and Quian for a great place!
