My niece and I had a lovely stay - Alexandra and Pierre are wonderful hosts - Alex gave us such a warm welcome (it felt from the heart, not superficial) and made us feel at home immediately. The apartment (the top floor where we stayed) is very spacious and bright with a balcony all around and a beautiful view to Temple Park right in the middle of the Marais (10 minutes’ walk to Hotel de Ville). Even though the room and the bathroom are small, you got enough space for everything. Sitting on the balcony with a glass of wine when you get home from a long sightseeing day, rounds the day off perfectly. We got a lot of privacy but when we had questions we could get a hold of them easily. Pierre was so niece to fix our sofa bed (without asking) which we did not put up correctly. This was my first experience with Airbnb and I really enjoyed it and I can honestly recommend both the hosts and the place. As mentioned, the sofa bed is a bit tricky and you need to fold it when you want to access the terrace from your room (but you can also use the entrance from the living room). And you have to like cats because they are quite present. One circumstance which disturbed me a bit was the noise at night (from cars and bars down the street) but only when you keep your windows open.
