The flat is beautifully presented and set across two floors. Accessed from a courtyard off Rue Saint Martin in Le Marais, the entrance is on the first floor accessed by a flight of stairs. On the first level are the kitchen, dining, lounge and bathroom, which has an excellent shower. The two bedrooms are accessed via an internal spiral staircase. The space was perfect for us although it might be a challenge for visitors with mobility issues.
The apartment is superbly equipped with modern appliances and everything you might need. It was one of the best equipped AirBnBs we have enjoyed over the years.
The location is superb - right in the heart of Le Marais. Step out onto Rue Saint Martin and you have every cafe, restaurant and boulangerie you could desire as well as the occasional jazz club. Centre Pompidou is nearby and the Seine a short stroll. It’s the perfect location to holiday in Paris.
Co-host Nathalie was at the apartment to greet us and hand over keys at the agreed time, and the communication with Lynda and Nathalie throughout the stay was excellent.
I’ll finish with one final comment given that our visit was during a recent summer heatwave in Europe. Being on the lower levels of a very old six story apartment building set around a courtyard, the apartment stayed lovely and cool while Paris sweltered in 41 degrees heat. You immediately felt the cool of the courtyard when opening the door onto Rue Saint Martin. This meant that this week’s stay was very pleasant for us when I am sure many other places would have been a challenge.
This apartment is why we love AirBnB locations. We highly recommend it and would hope to visit again on our next stay in Paris.
