A great apartment in the heart of arguable the best district in Paris. We met many locals out and about at the major tourist destinations and they all recommended that we check out La Marais, which I smirkingly told them was where we were staying. A vibrant, happening neighborhood with a strong cafe scene and nightlife. You cant get much better in my opinion. The apartment itself sends you into residential Parisian life that you cannot get at a hotel and it is one of the main reasons that my family AirBnBs. Philippe’s place is a classic French apartment with local charm and outstanding surroundings. Fellow travelers should know that the apartment complex houses a lot of young libertines (or perhaps other BnBers) that like to get home at 6am and party until 8am. We didn’t mind but could see how others that would. Also, make sure you grab US comforts like paper towels and tissues as there were none on property. Luckily there is a shop a few doors down for you can fill the apartment with whatever makes you comfortable. Make sure to check out Legay Choc for superb AM pastries and Les Philosophers for an outstanding dining experience.
