My boyfriend and I just spent the weekend at Gilians place. The house was so charming! A unexpected hideaway in Paris in an enclosed area. Interior is just like the pictures, very clean and comfortable, with very cool decor. Even an old scrabble game that we put to great use! From other reviews it sounds like some people had trouble with the codes on the doors - it took a few tries sometimes but no big deal and it was actually very convenient to be able to come in with a code so we had more flexibility on the arrival and departure time. The location was good, with easy access to the metro and walking distance from le Marais and the Pompidou center as well as Montorgueil street. There were lots of clothing boutiques and designer furniture stores and a cafe on the corner. I only wish there were more food and wine markets within the block. Overall great place, I would highly recommend!
