Emmanuel is a great host, the neighborhood is awesome, and the flat is fantastic. The only thing we'd caution is that there can be street noise at all hours, so light sleepers take precautions. Otherwise we highly recommend this place with a huge thumbs up.
Emmanuel was very quick to communicate with us, and he was also very flexible and willing to work with our travel plans. He was very thorough in getting us set up and we very much appreciated his time and effort.
Le Marais is an incredible place to stay, and we feel fortunate to have done so. It's scenic, lively, convenient, and very friendly. When we first arrived from the airport to the metro station, it was snowing and we hurriedly glanced around to get our bearings. Immediately, a kind gentlemen stopped and asked if we were ok and if we needed help. Every subsequent interaction in the neighborhood supported that first impression. In fact, when we left for the airport we were at the same metro station waiting for the operator to open the access door for us (since it can be tricky to get luggage through the turnstiles) and two separate people stopped to make sure we were ok. From beginning to end, Le Marais was wonderful to us.
The flat itself is spacious for two, and felt light and airy. It is quite safe and secure. We also appreciated the information binder and thought it was nice that electrical outlet adapters were provided (we had our own, but that really is a nice touch). We had a great stay and would absolutely do it again if we had the chance. Thank you, Emmanuel!
