My husband and I wanted to stay in an authentic Parisian apartment in Paris. We could not have chosen a better place. Everything looked original but was quite updated. The chevron floors were just beautiful and the kitchen is darling. Everything is updated and works well. I loved the little area where the second bed is. It's behind a curtain in a small room and couldn't be cozier. Perfect for kids or another couple. Its private and separate from the bedroom. Its a large apartment, Narrow but very long. Very quiet and in the perfect neighborhood. Restaurants everywhere and they were all very good. There is a little Italian restaurant across the street, just a few steps away. It's not open all the time but if you can get in, do go. The apartment itself is immaculate. I am very picky about that and I have zero complaints about cleanliness. The decor is just fabulous. You will have lots to look at but its not cluttered in a bad way, just so cozy. It decorated just perfect. The kitchen is small but cuter than anything I have ever seen as far as kitchens go. There is one larger bathroom that we used to get ready. It has a tub and you could shower in it but there is no shower curtain. We showered in the smaller bathroom. The shower was good and water was always warm. Tankless water heater so you'll never run out of hot water. There is also a second toilet in there but its a pinch to get in there. We used it just fine but the bathroom is quite small. We were happy to have a second toilet and a good shower so no complaints. There is a grocery store just down the street which is very convenient. Blocks away from numerous metro stops. Excellent restaurants everywhere just around the corner. Location is perfect. Alexandra is a fantastic host. She got back to us right away if we had questions and was always available. You will LOVE this Paris apartment in the Le Marais.
