Mac and Julien are wonderful hosts, and other guests will be quite fortunate to enjoy their hospitality and remarkable Parisian home. It's ideally located near Metro rail and bus stops on the Right Bank -- within walking distance of such sites as the Musee Picasso, but far enough off the tourist trail to appeal to guests who want to experience a true Parisian residential neighborhood and how locals live. There is a profusion of excellent cafes, restaurants and grocery stores nearby -- made all the better by recommendations by Julien, who is an aficionado of French wine and food and enjoys sharing his tips with guests. He made himself available by text whenever we had a question about that, so any guests visiting Paris with a culinary interest will be quite appreciative. The couple's apartment is simply gorgeous. It's on the second floor of a landmark Haussmann-style building. There are retail shops below that operate during business hours, but the apartment was blissfully quiet and peaceful during our stay. While the vintage architecture is appealing, so is the more modern, stylish design of the apartment, which includes stylish lighting fixtures, technologically sophisticated kitchen appliances, a gorgeous full bath tub in the master bedroom and a rain shower in the second bedroom, ample glassware for wine lovers such as ourselves, and a comfy living room with a large smart TV and an audio system (which you can plug your own devices into to stream your own music) when you want to unwind after a day of roaming the city and this corner of the Marais neighborhood where Julien and Mac reside. My wife, mother and myself were so grateful to have found this gem and connected with such gracious, hospitably, savvy hosts. This apartment deserves to be booked continuously, but I hope for our sakes we'll be able to return and enjoy it again some day! Merci, Julien and Mac!
