Jean's Airbnb is a gem of a find. Around the cost of a hotel in Le Marais, you get double the space, fully functional kitchen, modern bathroom, and dishwasher/washing machine/dryer. We also loved the three Juliet balconies overlooking the street. The best thing about Jean's Airbnb is the location. It is in the heart of Le Marais, and once you step out the door you are immediately immersed in the electric atmosphere of Paris. It is nearby The Centre Pompidou and Les Halles (5 min walk) where locals and tourists gather to enjoy the weather, shopping, restaurants, etc. The neighbourhood of the Airbnb just feels fun and has a vibrant nightlife on the weekend. In terms of essentials, there is a fruit store below the apartment, several pharmacies, and at least two grocery stores (Monop' and a very large Monoprix) to buy food/wine/etc nearby. Lastly, the apartment is very accessible to the Metro (5 min walk to Hotel de Ville, Les Halles, and Chatelet metro stops). For example, in the 6 days we stayed at Jean's AirBnb, we took RER to and from the CDG Aeroport, Line 1 to the Arc de Triomphe, Champs Elysees, and Trocadero Gardens; Lines B then C to Eiffel Tower; Line 4 to Montparnasse Tower and Marche de la Creation; and Line 7 to Galeries Lafayette Haussmann. The apartment also has several heaters, but we didn't have to use them since Paris was a balmy 22 degrees in April. Overall, Jean's Airbnb is a great find and we definitely recommend it for anyone's stay in Paris and definitely recommend staying in Le Marais to have a more authentic Parisian vacation.
