We had an absolutely lovely two-week stay in Stéphane’s place. He is a gracious, warm and attentive host; he was responsive, flexible and helpful from the time we made our reservation to the time of checkout. As other reviewers have noted, the space itself is lovingly designed and appointed, down to the charming details, including furniture, artwork and pottery by Stéphane and his wife. For two travelers, it felt like a luxurious amount of space to have in the heart of Paris. Wonderfully private, quiet, and serene; in the middle of the always-bustling Marais, once you're inside you feel as if you were staying at a farmhouse in the countryside. Also, when it comes to the make-or-break essentials: comfortable bed; good shower (a bit limited in hot water duration, as others have noted, but no big deal); excellent and dependable wifi; sufficient kitchen/cooking equipment for travelers like us who like to eat out selectively (and well!) by also eating lots of meals at 'home'. Now.. as for the location. It's a dream -- down the street from Centre Pompidou, easy walk to Notre Dame, Sainte Chapelle, Place des Vosges, Picasso Museum; Louvre/Tuileries a leisurely 20 minutes away on foot; 30 - 40 minute walk (or very easy metro ride) to Musée d'Orsay, Luxembourg Gardens, Trocadéro, and pretty much everything else! Your home away from home in Paris awaits! Don't hesitate!
