I stayed in this home for approximately 10 days with my mother. I chose the house for its location near the Marais district.

Overall, I'm satisfied with the accommodation. It did indeed prove to be conveniently located by three metro stops. Also, the house is cozy, with a nice kitchen to cook in (there is a lovely gas stove). The house has most of the amenities one would look for: coffee maker, microwave, wine glasses, and cutlery.

There aren't many negatives to this property, but perhaps some points that require clarification. It's a funky construction situated away from the front street, behind an apartment building. Bizarre, but not off-putting. Despite being surrounded by a much larger apartment block, there is plenty of sunlight coming in thanks to the skylight in the living room.

That said, there are commercial shops that are adjacent to the house and you can hear noise coming from these during the day, but it isn't excessive. Also, while we felt safe the neighbourhood, you need to be careful where you wander at night, as two roads over things can get a bit dicey. By contrast, a five minute walk in the other direction will have you in the middle of Montorgeuil, a wonderful street for foodies.

Some final points on the house. There is a steep set of stairs leading to the second floor landing. If you have small children, this could be an issue. The beds are no frills, and indeed, it should be clarified that the bed downstairs is actually a pull-out of sorts (though not uncomfortable).

Overall, this place met my expectations. Arno was responsive to my requests and came by on more than one occasion to help with things I had questions about.
