Sammuel was a wonderful host, even though he was traveling out of the country at the time. There was someone to welcome us to the apartment, even though we were over an hour past our agreed upon meet up time (customs line was huge).
Sammuel was very fast with his messages during both the booking process and during our stay. The hot water heater was not working, but despite being halfway around the world, Sammuel took care of this promptly with the building's landlady. There was someone to come around and fix it by the next day. To compensate us for the trouble, Sammuel offered us a bottle of champagne from his wine collection. This was a thoughtful touch.
The apartment was in a perfect location in the Marais district. There are lots of sights to see within walking district, and plenty of lovely shops and a small supermarket right around the corner. It was also very helpful that the apartment is a 10 minute walk to the RER B line, which goes directly from Charles De Gaulle airport. The apartment also has a small elevator, which was helpful with our luggage and at the end of a long day.
In the apartment itself, there is a small but working kitchen, a very comfortable bed, and a lovely living area to sit in and relax. Having a patio to look out onto his plants from the bedroom was a nice touch of green.
We would recommend Sammuel's apartment for anyone who is interested in staying in the Marais district, and we would stay at Sammuel's place again if we are to find ourselves in Paris anytime in the future!
