It was such a pleasure staying at this apartment. The neighborhood: it is extremely well-located — I could safely walk around the Marais or many close by neighborhoods, or easily take a subway to anywhere in the city from the different lines available within two blocks of the place. There are grocery stores, pharmacies, museums, restaurants and boutiques close by, and a nice boulangerie and a laundromat in the same street. The apartment: although it sits in the middle of one of Paris’ busiest spots, the apartment’s windows are soundproof and face a beautiful interior garden, so you can’t hear any outside noise. The place itself is small but lovely, super clean, warm, and has everything you need to cook a quick meal (just stove and microwave, no oven). It’s well-equipped, with hairdryer, kettle, coffee maker, pots, cutlery, toaster, vacuum cleaner, really there was nothing I needed that wasn’t there. There are nice decorations / art in the walls. It is a bright room with a full wall of windows, and also has good lighting for the evening. Bed was comfy, I was by myself and slept in the upper one, leaving the sofa bed to lounge. Paris guide books available in the place too! The host: Marie-Christine was a helpful host and was able to accommodate my early arrival time from the airport. She lives in the same apartment complex, so I always felt I could reach out to her if necessary (although I really didn’t need anything else during my stay). It’s a perfect stay for one person. Super grateful!
