We booked a room at Marc’s place for one night for our daughter whom we were meeting briefly in Paris. We checked in, met Marc and got the key for our daughter who afterwards had only good things to report about her stay.
This Airbnb turned out to be one of our most intriguing experiences during our 4 days stay in Paris. Airbnb will sometimes give you the gift of a glimpse into a life, you just never had imagined. And it leaves you excited about our diverse world in a way a museum visit never could.
The building is very old and Marc has made the top 2 floors up under the rafters a cozy nest; the quintessential old city house experience. The “theme” in this Airbnb is music and musical instruments and if you are interested in music and/or if you like atmosphere this is your place. If you like generic this place is not for you.
The location is fun; R Montorgueil neighborhood is a hopping place and also centrally located for the metro and for walking to Marais, Louvre and Île de la Cite. The room is away from the street, so not noisy.
Marc is a helpful and super friendly easygoing host.
