The apartment, the location, and the host were stellar.
This home is beautiful, spotless, and true to the website’s photos (some listings have proven smaller than the wide-angled image presented). The furnishings are carefully chosen, artistic, and attractive. My adult daughter and I always felt completely safe and secluded here in quiet, in spite of being in the heart of a 24-hour city. The bed was described as large and comfortable, and it truly was. The couple of steps up/down inside did not pose a problem for us. We were very happy with the internet speed.
The Marais is a fabulous center of the city and is a perfect place to make a home-base. It is in walking distance to both historic and modern sites as well as dernière mode boutiques and public transportation. We found that picking up taxis and Ubers was easier from the main street just at the corner.
Stéphane was quite considerate- especially as he reached out when we didn’t show up at the expected time, I had WiFi issues and weather delays and missed connections… and he graciously accommodated us. He had solid recommendations for local cafes and for groceries and épiceries for those times we just wanted to eat in (easy with fridge/utensils- and charming artisan dinnerware).
Five star place, five star host Super place, super host Happily recommend, happily revisit.
