I can't possibly say enough good things about this apartment, or about this host. Hands-down, this is far and away my favorite airbnb experience ever, and not just because it's in Paris, or even the Marais, as I've visited both quite a few times, and used to stay at the Hotel Lutecia in St. Germain, which is fairly swanky. This apartment absolutely is the best you could hope in every way, including, but certainly not limited to, its stellar location, one I could not improve upon even if I could stay anywhere else in Paris (and we have stayed elsewhere in the Marais), the accuracy of the apartment description, communications with the host, sparkling cleanliness, fresh, clean-smelling linens, a big shower with seemingly endless hot water, terrific, like-new appliances (dishwasher, cooktop, refrigerator, washer/dryer, etc.), high ceilings that made the apartment feel appreciably bigger/roomier, a big flat-screen TV, huge, easy-to-open windows that sealed us off from the city when we needed that, but also allowed us to invite that city inside when we wanted that, a vase of fresh sunflowers awaiting us upon arrival, being met at the apartment in-person with important and useful information, and on and on and on. If I could have a pied-à-terre in Paris, this would be it. Highly, highly recommended!!!!!!!!!!!!
