My partner and I stayed here for 5 days and loved every minute of it. The apartment is just as pictured - wonderfully french and unique. The location is fantastic for exploring the very cool area of Le Marais, and has great connections to metro and bus lines. The views over the street are fantastic, and you really feel like you're soaking up the local way of life (in stark contrast to the touristy areas). There are so many great places to eat and drink, including fantastic boulangeries. Yes, there are lots of stairs, nooks and crannies, so if you're after a place with all the mod cons (or if you are really tall) this isn't for you. But we loved the experience and can't wait to be back. We didn't get to meet Eva, but she answered any questions very quickly via AirBnB. There wasn't much interaction with the host, but we are independent travellers and prefer it that way. Thanks Eva!
