Antoine is a very kind, considerate and accommodating host. He was extremely consistent in terms of communication and messaging and always replied in a timely manor. His apartment is just as pictured if not better in person. The kitchen comes equipped with every you will need, which was a surprise. And the living area was surprisingly very comfortable as well as the queen sized bed, which was put in just before I moved in. The apartment has great windows that let in a lot of natural light, and thick drapes which block them if you need a day to sleep in! But nothing beats the flats extremely trendy location. There are several beautiful shops, cafes and restaurants all within walking distance, and lots of options for everyone. The northern Marais is an extremely coveted area, you have the best of the best right at your disposal. The neighborhood is still quiet and tucked away from all the tourists. Keep in mind that most of the places in the Marais are open on Sunday's, which is great because as you will soon find out, everything in Paris shuts on Sunday's. So the area will be a bit livelier on the weekends, especially the brunch crowd on Sunday afternoons. Recommended for both first timers, or long stays! Great experience overall.
