My husband and I spent one week at Blanche’s home in le Marais. Her home was as shown in the photos; gorgeous and very Parisian in its decor. We read a few reviews complaining about cigarette smoke (which we did not experience at all) and the plants on the stairs leading up to the entrance (which actually did not obstruct your passage at all. The stairs are quite wide). I appreciate that she had several plug adapters so we were able to use our Canadian plugs. The apartment building felt very safe and the people (mid-30s crowd) were friendly and said hi whenever they saw us.
We loved the neighbourhood and it’s many shops and food options. Be sure to check out Edwart Chocolatier for some amazing chocolates. We also frequented La Sancerre for happy hour which is always packed with people.
Blanche gave great instructions on finding the keys to her place and was very responsive throughout the trip. We had no issues and only contacted her for recommendations.
Definitely a great place to stay in Paris. Would highly recommend.
