My husband and I stayed at Simon’s flat for the last week in June this year (2019). Simon (& his housekeeper) were absolutely lovely. Simon made sure we had directions for all the appliances, as we do not speak English, checked in on us several times to make sure we were comfortable, and gave us great recommendations for his neighborhood.
Notes for future visitors:
- 5th floor walk-up isn’t that bad. It made us feel like we earned as least part of all the buttery treats we were consuming. May be worth noting, keeping luggage on the smaller side for this aspect would be a good idea.
- Washer & Dryer in unit. This was amazing! It was quite hot (sweaty) while we were visiting so being able to do laundry was VERY helpful to keeping comfortable and being able to re-wear clothes.
- No AC, but opening the terrace windows and bedroom window gets you a nice cross breeze and Simon has a fan. We were in Paris for the heat wave (high 90s), but did’t find this to be a big issues for sleeping.
- Terrace: Absolutely charming and perfect terrace for dining al fresco and relaxing outside.
- Location: It really is in the heart of the Marais. Great access to Metro, RER, & bus stops. Just a short walk down to the Seine and Il de la Cite. <3
In summary: We 100% recommend Simon’s apartment to anyone visiting Paris (without issues doing stairs) and plan on staying here again on our next trip.
Merci boucoup Simon!
