We just completed a two week stay in the “Cactus Apartment” in the Le Marais and simply could not be more pleased. We are experienced travelers, but have always stayed in hotels, so this was our first experience with Airbnb. The location is charming, very quiet, and easy walking distance to cafes, bars, coffee shops, groceries, pharmacies, metro stations and attractions such as the Picasso Museum, the Centre Georges Pompidou, Hotel de Ville, Notre Dame and more. The apartment is air conditioned (a life saver in the midst of our first week when it was high 90’s every day) but also has plenty of excellent high-quality windows for ventilation when it’s cooler outside. The large brown leather sofa converts to a pull-out bed and has a very comfortable mattress---it is actually indistinguishable from a conventional bed. The bathroom and shower is quite small by American standards, but efficient and certainly acceptable. The kitchen has every modern appliance and is well equipped. Importantly, Guillaume and his staff were excellent, professional, helpful, friendly and warm, and always responsive and timely in communications. We forgot to take our apartment keys and were locked out on Sunday afternoon. The staff was most gracious, interrupted their Sunday activities and met us at the apartment so we could retrieve the keys. We felt like Parisians and would highly recommend this apartment to anyone who wishes to experience the magic of Le Marais.
