This place is the perfect stay for a trip to Paris. We were trying to get right in the center of Le Marais and this is a little bit outside of that area BUT it is so close to so many amazing things! It's a 5 minute walk to Les Halles, a giant shopping place with tons of cafes. It's also only about 10 minutes walk to the heart of Le Marais which has amazing boutiques and our favorite, Le Marche Des enfants rouges. It's about a 5 minute walk to 3 different metro stations: Les Halles, Etienne Marcel, and Sebastopol Reaumur. We used all 3 frequently and could literally get anywhere our hearts desired! Not to mention the actual location. Tucked away in a door on a main Street, you enter a beautiful little alley way that is so perfectly French. It's right next to an adorable umbrella shop called Peps. And the interior was beautiful. Amazingly appointed with really thoughtful decor and lighting. We had everything we needed! My cousin who lives in Paris could not believe the amount of space we had for the price we paid. 2 floors and a really nice updated interior.
You can hear almost everything happening in the alleyway (it's really not too busy) and the apartments beside it. But that was never an issue at night when everyone was asleep.
Also a tip: if you are coming from outside of France and don't have an international plan, make sure you buy a sim card in the airport so you can communicate with Carolyn about your ETA. we had picked a time to meet but ended up running very far behind with trying to figure out which train to take and because I hadn't bought a sim card yet I had no way to communicate with her. There was someone waiting for us for over an hour before we got there! I felt terrible but he was really nice. Just try your best to set yourself up to communicate the day of for your actual arrival time.
Thanks for the amazing space! If we find ourselves in Paris again we would absolutely stay at this spot.
