Pilar's place is a perfect little refuge in the middle of Le Marais. The place has more than enough room between the two floors (I wasn't expecting the extra bathroom either!). But the most notable part of my stay was how warm and welcoming Pilar was. She had requested that I text her ~15min before I arrived. However, I wasn't able to do that as I didn't have a data plan or access to wi-fi en route from the airport. I gave her an estimate just before I left from the airport which ended up being ~20min off. Pilar was very understanding and gave me a warm welcome upon arrival. She even left me some snacks which I happily ate throughout the trip (fresh fruit, baguette, jams & butter!).
One thing that did surprise me was how low the ceilings were -- especially on the top floor. It wasn't an issue for me as I'm quite short but it's something others should be aware of before booking (if you're tall!).
