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.

Great location, great accommodations, and most of all for Americans, great A/C. The host was very friendly and went above and beyond sharing great neighborhood spots. This is a go-to for the next trip!
We enjoyed our stay here very much. The place was beautiful, comfortable and a perfect location! Our host was very accommodating as well as gracious to offer helpful advice and recommendations. Hope to revisit some day!
Mathieu is a great host. His apartment is lovely, the location is perfect. He is extremely communicative, and provides a perfect environment for a wonderful stay
Our stay was absolutely lovely. We were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and the apartment and neighborhood were perfect for a romantic and celebratory week in Paris. Mathieu was an excellent host who was never hovering, but very responsive. He even reached out to us to tell us how to turn on the heat before we asked (Paris was unseasonably chilly the week we visited and Mathieu wanted to make sure we stayed cozy). The apartment was spotless when we arrived and the elevator worked well when we didn’t feel like hiking up the stairs after touring from morning until night. We felt very secure in the building and did not experience any noise from the street below. It is close to the metro and the host provided numerous recommendations for restaurants and cafes that made our holiday even better. I highly recommend living like a Parisian and staying in this apartment. The fabulous neighborhood and apartment had everything we wanted and more.
Our second stay in this apartment and we love it! Great location, beautifully furnished, comfortable bed and Mathieu goes above and beyond to help make your stay wonderful.
Mathieu was a terrific host, he communicated regularly and answered questions immediately. The place was perfect, comfortable and very Paris with great decor! Le Marais is a wonderful place to stay; very close to the Seine, Notre Dame, the Louvre and many other sites. Only a 3 minute walk to the Metro, it was so easy to travel everywhere. There are many great restaurants right in Le Marais that we did not have to leave the area for dinner. I would stay there again!
We had a wonderful 4 day stay in this apartment. The location is about the best you can get in Paris half a block from Place des Vogues. The apartment is charming and the kitchen adequate for breakfast a perhaps a light supper - don't be planning real cooking in this spot. And why would you with the range of restaurants close at hand. Check in details were a breeze. The access is tight and steep. We are in

We had a wonderful stay. Mathieu is an attentive host and has decorated the apartment beautifully. The location in the Marais is perfect, the bed really comfortable and check in easy. Will be back!
Quintessential French experience! Loved the location, and Matthieu could not have been more charming or helpful! The apartment was fabulously decorated and so clean. The bed was so comfortable. Would definitely stay here again!
This accommodation fit our needs perfectly. The location allowed us to discover many off the beaten trail destinations as well as well known spots. Our host was very helpful with recommendations for restaurants and arranging transportation to the airport. Very clean and comfortable place.
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!
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.
We loved this experience!Thank you Mathieu for your help including suggesting a driver from the airport!Our accommodation was perfect for us.The apartment is situated in an area that is walkable to many cafes,museums and Notre Dame. My personal favourite was going 600 steps to the Boulangerie each morning for croissants.Comfortable bed ,quiet nights and grateful for laundry facilities as we had been away for 2 weeks.The view out the window of the roof tops was amazing.
