We stayed in Ariane's apartment for two nights over a weekend in August 2016 as part of a two week family holiday. The location is fantastic - just on the edge of the Marais and within walking distance, even with three small kids, of the river, the Louvre, and the Tuileries big wheel and funfair. We couldn't have had a better base - in a short stay with kids who've never seen Paris you need to be near enough the big touristy sights as well as the brasseries and museums that you might be more into if the little ones were not there. We didn't meet Ariane but she made us feel more than welcome from the first point of contact through our arrival and departure and aftewards. Her apartment, on the seventh floor of a Rue Beauborg building, is immediately homely. Cooking facilities were great and it was a lovely spot to share a meal with the family and then hang out when they're asleep. Our kids loved the loft bed and the old-school elevator (two at a time!) PAris was such an exciting and unique experience for our young ones made all the more special by Ariane's warm and inviting home and hospitality - thank you very much Ariane.
