If you are going to Paris, book this place! Now!
Christophe is a top-rate host: he literally has thought of everything. Wifi, power adapters, a neighborhood guide, spare toiletries and more. Great communication throughout and a helpful face to face meeting when we arrived.
The space is a masterfully designed apartment that comfortably slept our family of four. Felt like a recent renovation with lots of design detail. Also it has AC, which was critical since Paris was 95Fahrenheit while we were there (oof). And the washer/dryer were essential for traveling with kids. The apartment is two flights of stairs up, but the elevator can carry you or your luggage.
Le Marais is a terrific neighborhood: you're in the middle of great food and shopping, public transit, with a nearby grocery store and wireless shop (for SIM cards). And of course tons of history, both beautiful and tragic: it's a 1000-year-old street and a historically Jewish district. Easily walkable to Notre Dame and the Louvre.
You are doors down from one of the best falafel shops in the world, and the constant line reflects it (try it!). But the apartment is a quiet retreat from the energy of Rue des Rosiers. Step through the courtyard and it's serene enough for a six year old to nod off.
Again, if you are going to Paris, don't hesitate: book Christophe's place. Now.
