Staying in Nathalie’s apartment was the BEST lodging experience I’ve ever had in my life—better than any 5 star hotel or luxury bed & breakfast I’ve stayed in. Nathalie and her husband are the most gracious and attentive hosts imaginable. The communication with Nathalie leading up to, and during, the stay was wonderful and very prompt. She was incredibly accommodating to certain requests we made, and she even surprised us with a bottle of champagne upon our arrival. The amenities included with the apartment were amazing, including (1) a fully equipped kitchen (with a range, dishwasher, nespresso machine, french press, cookware, dishes, utensils, glasses, etc); (2) a generously stocked pantry (with many snacks, condiments, mineral water, coffee, milk, sugar, etc); (3) washer/dryer combo; (4) hair appliances (including hair dryer, straightener & curling iron); (5) tons of toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion, hair spray, etc); and (6) lots of extra towels & bed linens. I also have to take a moment to mention how unreal the bathroom is. It’s very modern and high-end, with the best shower ever. The water pressure & heat were fantastic (which is rare in any hotel, let alone in Europe). The rest of the apartment is just gorgeous—tastefully decorated, super high ceilings, tons of light, extremely spacious, and with lovely french door-style windows that open up to a fantastic view of the park across the street. The layout of the apartment is really clever, with lots of space and storage for clothing, suitcases, etc. My husband and I stayed here and we found there to be more than enough space for the two of us—this apartment could comfortably house 4 travelers. I also want to mention that the apartment was spotlessly clean. I have asthma and severe allergies (including to dust mites), and I was gloriously symptom-free during my entire stay. In short, the apartment is pristine, gorgeous, spacious, and filled with all the comforts of home (and then some). Finally, the neighborhood is really perfect. There are tons of great cafes and brasseries within seconds of the apartment, and a short 10-minute walk will get you to the heart of the Marais shopping district (which is *amazing* btw) and Rue des Rosiers for some must-have L’as du Fallafel (you need to go here, trust me). TL;DR—You’re a crazy person if you don’t book this amazing apartment.
