Iris and Stéphane were charming hosts. They were very hospitable and went out of their way to make us feel at home, providing many extras (champagne, juice, fans in the hot weather, much more) - and really looking after us.
The apartment is in an excellent location in the Marais opposite a beautiful park and about 1.5 km from Bastille in one direction and Rue de Rivoli in the other. You reach the apartment on the first floor via a winding staircase (it’s a short climb but somewhat uneven so could be a challenge for anyone with mobility issues). There is a large living room, a kitchen with a small dining table, and a bedroom. The bath and basin are located in the bedroom. There’s also a shower in the toilet room.
The apartment is packed with Iris’ artwork, antiques, many pieces of china and miscellaneous objects, which give the apartment a very distinctive quality.
