Beautiful apartment in Marais District
Review Submitted: July 29, 2009
Date of Stay: March 2009
We were delighted to get the apartment at very late notice, and the owners could not have been more accommodating or welcoming. The apartment more than lived up to its description and photographs on the website. Beautifully designed, respecting all the original features, and exquisitely furnished, it was also spotless and contained all the modern amenities you would expect. The apartment is reached through a very pretty open courtyard with a winding wooden staircase; once inside beautiful old shuttered windows look back down onto the quiet street: it was very peaceful and a real haven of calm after a day’s site seeing or evening out.
The location was perfect, in the heart of the Marais district, surrounded by chic Parisian boutiques, galleries, and restaurants, and, just as the description says, within easy walking distance of the Picasso museum, and the Pompidou Centre. More practically there are local amenities close by (a good local supermarket, bakers, and so on). There are also some lovely local bars and cafes, within minutes of the apartment, if you are feeling lazy, or want to experience where the chic locals go, away from the tourists; here the recommendations given to us by the owners turned out to be perfect.
All in all a wonderful time, in a beautiful place, we would thoroughly recommend it, and hope to return in the future.
