Philippe and Jessica's apartment was perfect for our 10 day stay in Paris, and Philippe was a charming host.

Le Marais is a great neighborhood, with lots of history, charming cafes and good restaurants. There are fabulous designer shops as well as a wholesale district with some shops that accept retail business. Good markets and boucheries with yummy rotisserie chicken and everything you need to curl up for a relaxing evening at the cozy apartment.

The apartment is comfortable, clean, and quiet, with all the amenities needed to make it easy. The kitchen had everything we needed to make a simple breakfast - pots and pans, toaster, conventional and Nespresso coffeemakers, and more. The patio is rustic and charming, though we didn't get to use it because of the weather. We loved the open skylight as it made the apartment bright and cheery.

The metro is 3-4 blocks away, making for nice neighborhood walks and discoveries en route to other parts of the city. A great visit!
