We loved this place! Joel's home was exactly what we were hoping to find; located in the heart of le Marais, surprisingly spacious, and tons of natural light and views of Paris city streets. from every room. Joel was an exceptionally gracious host and welcomed us personally. He made certain that everything a visitor needs would be there to get started including, coffee, sugar and a bottle of champagne. We stayed for two weeks and it felt like home in no time. We often stayed in to relax and read in the living room with the windows open enjoying the city sounds & breeze. The apartment has everything you need for a comfortable stay including washer, dryer, dishwasher, large shower. We would absolutely stay here again, and will recommend Joel's place to family and friends looking for a place to play and stay while in Paris.
