About this property

Live Like A Parisian

Charming apartment under the rooftops of Paris, calm, full of light, with an elevator for convenience.
In the heart of the vibrant Marais, the apartment is surrounded by rich history, renowned boutiques, famous cosmetics and perfume shops, restaurants, and cafés. It’s also the epicenter of Fashion Week, perfect for experiencing the city’s creative pulse.

The apartment combines elegance and character, with designer furniture and unique antique pieces for a warm, sophisticated atmosphere.

You enter a stylish living room with authentic designer furniture like Le Corbusier and old pieces of art and decoration picked from auctions or antique shops, mostly from the 1940s and 1950s.
You will also find plenty of architecture books, as my partner is an architect, which you can enjoy reading during a relaxing day off after wandering around the city.

The apartment is very comfortable for both relaxing and working, with high-speed internet.
The bedroom has a beautiful view of Saint Paul Church and the Parisian sky. The bed is very comfortable, with two types of pillows, including a firm one for those who prefer it. A large wardrobe is also available.

The bathroom is equipped with a bathtub, perfect for a long, relaxing bath after a day of exploring the city.
The kitchen, though compact, is fully equipped with a coffee machine, an oven, and a dishwasher.

A washing machine and dryer are available in my small laundry area on the same floor.

The apartment is located on the 6th floor, with an elevator that takes you to the 5th floor.

The building, beautifully crafted in stone, dates back to the 19th century.

I’ve provided a list of my favorite restaurants and pâtisseries in the apartment to help you explore the best culinary spots in Paris.

Bed linen, towels, tea, and coffee are all included for your stay.

This is the place to stay in Paris! This wonderful apartment is comfortable, beautifully decorated and has conveniences that a typical hotel stay does not such as the kitchen and full laundry. The big windows open you up to the sights and sounds of Paris life. It is in a vibrant neighborhood full of boutiques, vintage shops, cafes, bakeries, markets, metro stations - everything you need. We walked everywhere from here! The apartment was also well stocked with necessities and a large collection of books in French and English to browse through. Le Marais is a wonderful area and this apartment is in the heart of it - you definitely feel like you are living like a Parisian in this home. The host is very welcoming and offers excellent information on restaurants and even put us in contact with a driver for getting to the airport without a worry. If you want to experience Paris life, this is the place to stay.

Your search for lodging in Paris should stop now. Rent this apartment! Mathieu has thought of everything and is an excellent communicator! The apartment is beautifully decorated and incredibly convenient to the metro and many must see attractions without feeling at all touristy. Very comfortable bed, too!

Paris Winter

My husband and I stayed in this well appointed and perfectly situated apartment for five wonderful days in Paris. The location just steps from the Place Des Voges was the perfect place to start our morning in one of the many cafes. Two metro lines were short walks away and everything we wanted to see was easy to get to. Our host was so helpful and offered great suggestions too. We will look forward to returning.

Parisian paradise

This smart, tastefully decorated and ideally located apartment is beyond comparison. Perfect situation for a couple with a small child or two adults - this was a mother and daughter trip for us and the space couldn’t have been better. The host, Matthieu is warm, helpful and accommodating. His restaurant recommendations spot on and assistance in securing airport transportation greatly appreciated. Thank you for everything and we are looking forward to staying with you again!! Glenda & Jessie, Toronto, Canada

Back to Paris much, much later

As described. You buy your morning baguette go up make coffee and set out for the day. Averaged 15,000 steps a day for 14 days. Saw everything: start with the small museums (especially recommend Arts et Metiers and Madame Curies laboratory) Skip the Louvre. Buy a postcard..Superb location for walking. I often mapped a route of a mile or so, both walking and driving and driving sometimes took longer than walking. Really!No metro strike so all was perfect. Went to concerts and special timed events. FLV was fascinating with Hockney and his huge exhibit. Carnavalet around the corner. Musee d'Orsay now huge and a full day must see. Etc etc. Lived here as a student in 1962 at the Sorbonne and all the crazy 'manifestations'.

Charming apartment in great location

We spent five wonderful nights at this charming apartment to celebrate an anniversary and it was the perfect central location. Our host, Mathieu, provided us with excellent recommendations for restaurants nearby and the self check-in worked seamlessly with the detailed instructions he provided to us. We highly recommend this apartment and host.

Wonderful apartment-- very functional, beautifully decorated, great windows, and accessible & friendly host! I have been to Paris several times, and this was one of the best areas that I have ever stayed while visiting. Highly recommend this apartment-- it was perfect for me and my boyfriend-- more than enough space, and the location is truly amazing. Great shopping, restaurants, wine stores/fromageries, and very safe neighborhood.

Small but Beautiful

We enjoyed our 5-day stay in this tastefully decorated and very quiet one-bedroom apartment in a great location in the Marais, within a short walking distance to a least half a dozen museums and many small parks (e.g.Place de Vosges) and gardens (e.g. Mark Ashton Garden). I found several interesting independent shops around there, including two pop up stores selling women’s fashion made by young designers based in Paris, all selling at reasonable prices. Plenty of good restaurants nearby recommended by the host as well as by our friends and the Michelin Guide. All the furniture and items in the flat were carefully picked and put together, making for a calm visit. It’s a great place to stay for a couple who love Paris, museums, gardens, eating out and shopping.
