Musée Carnavalet : locations à proximité

In our many trips to Paris, including four when we stayed in apartments, we have never had a better combination of location and quality accomodation. On an interesting street in the Marais, the apartment is short walks away from several museums, and a variety of neighborhood cafes and shops, just enough off the touristy streets to feel completely Parisian. The sunny and stylish living room has storybook views of the city’s rooftops; the kitchen is well equipped for cooking; and the modern art adds to the pleasures of being in such a comfortable home and an ideal location. Our charming host provided an in-person and detailed introduction to the apartment, stayed in touch during the week to answer questions and make sure all was going smoothly, and even came by when we left early in the morning to bid us farewell. We definitely intend to return.

I rented this apartment for a week in August when I took my six-year-old daughter to Paris for the first time. The location is perfect. In a charming street in the Marais, a block from the Rue de Rivoli and the St.Paul Metro Station, with many outstanding local restaurants within a few minutes walk. The air conditioning, which for me was an essential requirement, kept the apartment very cold when it was hot outside. The apartment is small, as you can see from the advertised dimensions. But the availability of the stove, microwave oven, and small refrigerator made it possible for us to eat dinner or breakfast in on a couple of days which was exceedingly helpful in reducing the difficulty of traveling with a young child. Likewise, the washer/dryer, which we used a couple times, though small, made our trip much easier. All the appliances worked beautifully. The apartment was spotlessly clean. Communication with Pascal, the owner, was excellent. He offered us all assistance, though we never had cause to call on him. All-in-all, five stars.
