We've stayed in many VRBOs and Airbnbs. This, by far, was the best experience we've had. The apartment was absolutely spotless. Glasses, dishes, and flatware in the kitchen were new and pristine. Salt, pepper, olive oil, tea, coffee, and sugar were provided. A bottle of fresh milk awaited us in the fridge.
It was wonderful to have a washer and dryer in the unit (laundry soap provided). We packed light and ran one or two loads of wash while we were there.
Natasza is the local property manager and will cheerfully greet you upon arrival at the apartment. She took great care of us, explaining everything in the apartment and giving us a good overview of the Marais (and Paris). We appreciated all of her tips. While we didn't need to contact her during our stay, it was comforting to know we could.
The apartment is in a perfect location--just a few blocks from the Seine, in the heart of the Marais, near several metro stations. Two good grocery markets are steps away. Do your research and be sure to visit an outdoor market. Due to our arrival date, we went to the one in the Bastille on Tuesday morning. Picked up some amazing cheese, produce, and roti chicken. In our own neighborhood, we found several great bakeries, wine stores, and cheese shops.
We were there in July. There was an unusual amount of rain and clouds which helped keep the temperature down, but I think it would have to get very, very hot in Paris for you to miss the AC. Don't let the lack of AC keep you from booking this place!
Some people have commented on noise. It's the Marais! There's always going to be some noise but nothing unbearable. There is a renovation happening in the building across the street, but the work never started before 8:00 and was usually done by 4:00. It didn't bother us.
Due to COVID, be sure to do your research before you go. Most museums require reservations. With the exception of bistros that stay open throughout the day, many restaurants require reservations. For international travelers who must get a COVID test before flying home, you'll find a lab just around the corner from the apartment. When we were there, they did not take walk-ins. They are very busy, so I recommend going there soon after arrival to make your appointment.
