Pierre’s apartment in the Marais neighborhood is just perfectly located in one of the most hip areas of Paris. You’ll be a couple of minutes away from some amazing cafes, local boutiques, glacé and gelato shops, cocktail bars and cultural points of interest such as the Picasso Museum. Metro stops are between 8-10 minutes walk away depending on which line you need to take, and electric scooters are available aplenty nearby.
Unfortunately for us there was a severe heat wave for the last couple days of our trip in Paris. Pierre’s apartment does not have air-conditioning (as we knew beforehand, and as is the case with most apartments in Paris). However, we were very lucky with the fact that the bedrooms are in the basement, and therefore relatively cool. Pierre has also ensured there are blackout shades that allow you to flexibly let the sunlight in, or keep it out. Overall - the apartment helped us cope with the heat as well as one without air conditioning can. I am sure if we were anywhere else, we would have made an earlier escape from Paris.
Pierre himself was very accommodating of all our requests and remained available and responsive throughout our trip. If you are going to be in Paris, I highly recommend you put Pierre’s Marais gem on the top of your consideration set of living options.
