A small but wonderfully cozy apartment with some distinctive features (such as the unusual stairs leading to the upper level). It had everything we needed, including appliances and kitchen utensils. The many skylights let in ample natural light. The best thing is its location, right in the middle of the Marais district. Many restaurants and food markets within easy walking distance. A ten minute walk would bring us to Metro stations; a twenty-five minute walk would get us to the Seine and Notre Dame. With this apartment, my wife and I had a wonderful Paris vacation.

This very unique and perfectly located loft was the perfect home base for our extended stay in Paris. In a very vibrant neighbourhood, there are so many great shops and restaurants in every direction, yet the loft is totally private and quiet too. The skylights bring in light during the day, and stars at night. Highly recommended!

Our Stay in Le Marais

We stayed in the Architect’s Duplex Loft for three days and it was fantastic. The location was amazing and Rebecca’s responsiveness was always immediate. Everything we needed was there and the loft is really a cool space. We would definitely stay there again and again.

Sweet little space

Beautiful space with glass walls and skylights, in an inner courtyard setting. Well laid out and has everything you need for a comfortable stay - The stairs are a creative solution, but are not for folks with mobility issues and take some getting used to. We look forward to staying here again next time we are in Paris

There was no top sheet, only a heavy comforter and with no thermostat there was no way to control the temperature in the loft. The bed mattress is very soft and the bed is upstairs using unconventional stairs. The bathroom is downstairs making going to the bathroom in the middle of the night troublesome. Also, there were no directions on how to use the cooktop, washing machine, microwave and shower, which did not operate like they do in the U.S.The location was good, safe and quiet. After a few days we managed with the inconveniences. We just expected a bit more given the high nightly cost.

I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy your stay as much as I had hoped. In Europe, we don’t use top sheets, we use comforter covers. All our bed linen is freshly washed at very hot temperature, sanitized and ironed between every guest. I was happy to take my time to explain how the induction stove top, the washing machine and the shower worked. I prefer talking to my guests and helping them with the cultural and technical differences between the US and Europe, rather than leaving long and unwieldy instruction booklets (which by the way are located on the shelf in the closet at the entrance of the apartment.) The electric radiators can be simply turned off. I really enjoy hosting and have been doing so for many years. I always take into account guest’s feedback and try to accommodate everyone to the best of my ability. Kind regards

COMFORTABLE MARAIS APARTMENT

Our family of four, including 2 teenagers, stayed at the apartment for one week in August. On the whole we found the apartment very nice and comfortable but it's a little small for 4 because it is basically a loft studio. It's location is fabulous, right in the heart of the Marais and a short walk to almost everywhere. The apartment has very high tech appliances and we had no instructions on how to use them when we first arrived. The kitchen is very well equipped and has everything you need to prepare a nice meal. The shower has excellent water pressure. The bed upstairs is super comfortable and had very nice clean white linens. We had plenty of towels and extra linens for the sofa bed downstairs. We did not find the sofa bed mattress very comfortable but it is adequate for a few nights. We felt like we lacked privacy in the apartment. It is surrounded by glass everywhere and we always pulled the curtains when at home. The garden was not well maintained when we arrived and had a lot of dead plants and was dusty and dirty. It is also not private and is open to the next door apartment which is the owner's architectural office so we did not stay in the garden during our stay; still it provided a little extra room. The stairs leading up to the bed upstairs are tricky to maneuver and felt like an obstacle course every time we went up and down. You have to hold on to the railings and be very careful when using the stairs especially at night if you have to go to the bathroom. The apartment is located at the back of 2 courtyards. In one of the courtyards that you have to use going in and out of the apartment, we found a gigantic beehive with hundreds of bees gathering nectar on the ivy covered wall. We noticed the high buzzing sound when we first arrived but apparently the bees are there every year and have not stung anyone. Neither Jessica nor Philippe were in town when we first arrived but Jessica was helpful and tried her best to help us out with the high tech appliances and TV. Philippe was very impatient with us over the phone and I can't say that we had a pleasant experience with him. The apartment has no A/C but the weather was gorgeous in Paris during our stay so we never felt hot. I don't know how it would feel upstairs during a heat wave. I think this apartment is most suited for a single person or a couple. It offers all the comforts of home in a beautiful surrounding right in the heart of Paris.

Dear Didi, First of all I’d like to thank you for rewarding us with four stars even though there were some issues you weren’t satisfied with. The instruction booklets for the appliances were in the closet as you walk in on the left. I’m toying with the idea of adding a user’s guide to the Frenchman (less high tech but equally complex). When I get back to Paris, I’ll make some concise instructions and paste them on the appliances. This summer has been exceptionally hot and Philippe and I have been in Paris discontinuously, so the plants in the garden have suffered a bit. We’ll be attending to that as soon as we get back in the fall. In our absence we have our cleaning lady Annie, Manu and Julie (who came by within 2 hours after we spoke on the phone), who do a great job taking care of everything. As for the bees, there’s no hive on the property. The bees come and gather pollen during the two weeks in the summer when the beautiful Boston Ivy covering the hôtel particulier in front of the house is in flower. There are hives in the Jardin du Luxembourg and on the roof of the Opéra Garnier (btw, you can buy Parisian honey). We love our little nest in the Marais and are happy to share it with our guests we try to do our best to make everything as comfortable, pleasant, poetic and Parisian as possible. Warm regards, Jessica

My best friend and I booked this for a long weekend moms' getaway and it was the perfect spot for us! I have stayed in Paris on the other side of the Seine, and this spot was the perfect slower more quiet end which was a nice contrast to the busier area I am used to! We were close to plenty of places to eat and wander, and getting to the "touristy" side of Paris was simple. We both walked and took Bolts and both were easy to manage and maneuver. The apartment was quiet and felt very private. We barely saw any neighbors, but when we did, everyone was kind and neighborly. I will most certainly be back to Paris, it's one of my favorite places in the world, and will certainly keep this listing in my options! Thank you for a great stay, Jessica!

Coming back again and again...

Just wonderful! Quiet in the heart of the coolest place to be in Paris. Wonderful abode, well designed (you have even an Eames lounge chair!) and the glass ceiling that allows you to see the sky and the chestnut tree that the building is under. There is small patio for outdoor dining, if desired. A gem that I love coming back to.

Great location but needs upgrade.

Owner didn’t share the status of construction on The adjacent roof which begins at 8:30am. Apartment needs an electrical upgrade, new privacy curtains and window pane replacement (broken windows.) Limited (none) instructions on using appliances. And very very large spiders!!

Great location, showing a little wear & tear

The apartment is in a great neighborhood and working with Jessica was very easy and she was very flexible. As others have noted, the property is starting to show some wear & tear and could be updated. Also, we had a larger group next door who continued to party after coming back from the bars and it sounded like they were in the apartment with us. Could have just been that they were particularly loud or the walls were a bit thin.

4/10 Poor

Cute and convenient, but not well maintained

This property is in a very good neighborhood with lots of nice shops and restaurants. It is a ten-minute hike to the metro.The property needs refreshment. The loft bed is up a narrow stair, beware older folks. Wi-fi goes on and off, mostly off. Owners were genial on line but not present until day 4 of 6-day visit. Not recommended for comfort lovers. Our first VRBO experience and probably our last.

Idéalement situé dans le quartier du Marais

Appartement agréable, lumineux et tranquille, très bien situé dans le quartier du Marais. On regrette seulement que le canapé lit ne soit pas confortable, sans doute plus adapté à accueillir des enfants qu' un couple d'adultes. Merci à Jessica pour sa réactivité et son efficacité à résoudre de petits problèmes logistiques.
