“The apartment was incredibly clean; the bathroom had just been repainted; the kitchen was well-equipped and had everything I needed for cooking; there was lots of closet space and a desk/bureau that was good for writing. There are windows overlooking both sides of the apartment, which let sunlight and a breeze into the apartment when opened. The neighborhood is fantastic and just a few blocks down from the Marché couvert des Enfants Rouges, where you can get fresh produce nearly every day”, wrote one of my past renters who stayed 3 months.

Bonjour Joseph, thank you for your comment of my flat. There's no speak easy bar below but a shoe's shop :) What happens is that, sometimes people speak loud in the street ! But a bar, no, not below.

A great place in the right spot

Peirre's place was a perfect base from which to move about the Marais and all of central Paris. It is wonderfully high off the street too, so with great light and above the fray of traffic, yet on a fantastic street for food, coffee or a drink. You can even get real Mexican tacos just three doors down!

Best neighborhood to stay in Paris!

This was the BEST location ever. The apartment is adorable. My 87 year old grandma slept in the bedroom and I slept in the twin bed in the living room. We both slept very well! The apartment is 5 flights up which was definitely difficult for my grandma, but we managed just fine. But truly, the location couldn’t be beat.

Hello Mitchell, duvets and sheets have been cleaned at 60 % which is what is recommended. Since you mention cleanliness, we would have appreciated that you don't leave your dustbin in the flat (you are the only person recently who has done such a thing ), not to mention some washing up of dishes that you did not do. it was not good.

Wonderful apartment in Paris for spending a week in the beautiful city

The apartment had everything we needed to be comfortable, and to prepare meals in our apartment. The location was absolutely the best. Across the street we had a bakery and a butcher shop and a wonderful grocery store. Coffee shops were on either side of us, and the metro station was only two blocks away and took us anywhere we wanted to go. we were greeted on arrival and found everything to be as expected. In addition to this, there was a parking garage less than one block away for us to park our car and have access to it whenever we needed it. The best recommendation that I can give is that we’re planning to spend another week there this coming December .

Lovely Marais apartment

The apartment was exactly as described, and very lovely. The location was great, convenient to the Metro and in a nice part of town. We stayed there during a record setting heat wave in France, but the ability to open windows on both sides of the apartment meant it cooled off at night (in Paris, as in most of northern Europe, pretty much nothing is air conditioned).. The only caution I would give is that it is five flights of stairs up, so if you have any difficulty with stairs, this is not the place for you. For the rest, it’s good exercise.
Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2019
Response from VrboOwner on 1 April 2020
Merci, John. It is true that opening windows on both sides makes a big difference. I also agree for the stairs. Actually I recommend it ! It's good for the heart and compared with other buildings, the flight of stairs isn't difficult. And anyway in le Marais you hardly find lifts in ol, traditional buildings. It's only in modern buildings that you'll find an elevator. But then, you won't have the same atmosphere... A matter of choice :-)

Good price, good location, nice apartment on the 5th floor

The apartment is very spacious considering the reasonableness of the cost per night. There is a kitchen/laundry area, a good size living room, bedroom and bath. Bed is very comfortable. The neighborhood is safe and quiet. It is 5 flights up with no elevator, so if you tend to go back and forth to your apartment frequently during the day you will do a lot of climbing. I tended to leave in the morning and come back at the end of the day, and I am in good shape, so it was not a big issue for me. A few tips: the fruit stand right around the corner is great--very fresh and reasonable and friendly. The empanada restaurant just down the street is great for a quick bite or a late meal. Very reasonable and tasty. Very friendly. There is an Italian food shop just around the corner where you can buy things to bring home and heat up in the microwave--again very reasonable, and tasty.

Our Time in Le Marais

If you are okay with the old world (dusty/moldy) feel of Shabby Chic, this place is a good fit for you. Think Shabby Chic...shabby apartment....in need of some TLC in a fantastic neighborhood. Price was perfectly reasonable...Pierre/Marie were very professional and easy to deal with. really no problems at all. Except the apartment smells like mold. Ifbyou have any sort of allergy, this would be a problem. The pictures are accurate, but of course you can't smell a place based on the pictures. So. Just a word of caution. If you're sensitive to smells....the moldy smell was significant.
Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023
Response from VrboOwner on 28 June 2023
Hello, thank you for staying in my flat and the compliments for Maria and me. Maybe you already have an allergy problem ? Sorry about that. I'm currently living in my flat. Does it smell like mold ? I don't think so. The atmosphere is dry and clean. Maybe a five star hotel would suit you, even though, in Paris you can't be sure of anything, that's why people like it here :) This old world you mention is Paris itself and maybe it's not meant for some people. I don't think It has to do with a smell but rather with an attitude to another, different world. Can it be the case ? Some of us, coming from another continent, are so sensitive. We are even able to create a smell that does not exist, or if it does, it is minor and the simple fact of opening the window has a chance to repair it. And last, I don't think I need my flat to look like a new one, sorry about that, it's not what I like. Shabby chic, really ? Oh well, what matters is the word chic, after all ! Paintings are new, one day you will explain what you mean, it's not clear to me, I'm afraid. But maybe it's just an American point of view ? Ah I got it now.

Sympa perch

We felt at home almost immediately. But we felt like Parisians at home in the cozy, fascinating, hip Marais. Just steps from the rue de Bretagne were multiple boulangeries/patisseries, cafe/restaurants, tasty delis, mouthwatering fruit and veggie markets, wine shops, and various other shops. All very French, including the Japanese Sushi place and the Thai restaurant. A couple of short blocks one way and you can turn on rue Vielle du Temple, which plunges into the ancient Marais, past magnificent 'hotels particuliers,' exquisite urban gardens, museums and ultra-chic shops. Head the other ways and there are more gardens, landmarks, shops, and places to drink, eat, sit and talk, or read, or gaze at the passers by, who tend to be young and attractive, often jabbering and smiling, etc. at each other. And there's the built-in exercise program of climbing up and down five flights of old, wonderfully crafted wooden stairs. Inside: lots of light, lots of cross-ventilating windows that allow the fresh breeze to waft through, a very functional kitchen, interesting furniture, dishes, lamps, etc. Quiet but with some street sounds that we found were not too loud and generally were pleasant reminders of where we were. Interesting apartments across the street, one with an abudant terrace garden and attentive, albeit ancient owner. 'Tout pour plaire.'

Thanks, Steve, for this great review. You said it all. It's a fascinating district, I've lived there since I was 13. It has changed, of course, but the spirit remains. You can't change the spirit with just luxury shops. Something important remains, and that's what I myself like. I'm glad you saw it in that light.

Full of personality, this charming garret apartment in the Marais district was a perfect and very clean and comfortable base for our whirlwind trip to Paris. It is located on a quiet street but just steps away from many wonderful restaurants and cafes, art galleries, bakeries, and other shops. We loved all the art on the walls, the shelves of books, and the beautiful textiles! There are big windows that open to a quintessential view of a pretty Paris neighborhood.

It's a very pleasant place to stay. Because of sunshine. And quietness.
