Sammuel was responsive prior to the booking. Check in was smooth with one of his friends showing us through. The apartment is in a really great location in the Marais (which is why we chose it) One block from Pompidou, easy walking distance to many restaurants and a Velib station at the door. Inside, there is a big, bright dining/lounge area. The bedroom is at the back facing a courtyard. Bathroom is basic but fine. Small kitchen. Overall the styling is friendly and welcoming with a touch of artiness. You could imagine living here for an extended holiday. The Marais is a double edged sword in that it offers all the nightlife you want but when you want to go home to bed the nightlife continues and the streets can be a little noisy. The good news is that by closing off the doors to other parts of the apartment it remains very easy to sleep. Did I mention the very thoughtful bottle of Champagne left for us by the host?
