About this property

Beautiful Apartment, Wonderful Marais Location

If you enjoy art, music and literature you will appreciate our 65 sq meter (700 sq feet) apartment designed by a talented French architect. Beautifully furnished, with books, CD's and DVD's, it’s a home away from home. On the fourth floor with an elevator, it has an independent entrance in our duplex, providing complete privacy along with the advantage of having us near for any information you might need.

Marvelously situated between the Bastille and the Place de la République and just around the corner from the historical Cirque d’Hiver, the apartment is on the edge of the fashionable Haut Marais area with its art galleries, exclusive clothing stores, specialty food shops, and the colorful covered market Les Enfants Rouges. You can walk to the Picasso Museum and the Place de Vosges within fifteen minutes, and many of Paris’s famous attractions such as the Louvre or Notre Dame are at a convenient distance whether you're on foot or using public transportation. Three metro and 3 bus lines are near the apartment, making it incredibly convenient for visiting Paris. Major train stations are easily reached from here as well.

The apartment consists of an open kitchen/living area, a bedroom with a queen-size bed, a library-study in which the sofa can open to a comfortable full bed, and a bathroom with shower. There’s everything necessary for a perfect stay in Paris: a well-equipped kitchen with dishwasher, induction cook-top, microwave, oven, and refrigerator, a large flat-screen television and DVD player, a radio-CD player with an excellent sound system, wireless internet, and a washer-dryer. Detergent, paper products and staples such as salt, pepper, oil, vinegar, and sugar are provided so you aren’t obliged to do a major shopping just to settle in.

Rental fee includes linens and towels, and cleaning at the end of your stay.

This is a wonderful place and a great location. Marsha had the apartment in great shape when we arrived, and when one small problem arose, she responded in minutes to address it. We had a great time and would certainly recommend this spot to anyone else who is traveling to Paris. The apartment is in a building that is quite old and that comes with a whole lot of charm and some quirkiness. We really liked the character of the building and the space in which we lived. It felt very Parisian.

A Perfect Stay in the Heart of La Marais – Five Stars!

We had an incredible stay at Marsha’s VRBO in La Marais! The space was exactly as advertised—clean, eclectic, and beautifully maintained. The location was perfect, with two Metro stations just a short walk away. We were able to do all our shopping within walking distance, and the Picasso Museum was right around the corner.Marsha was a gracious and responsive host, always quick to answer any questions about the area and Paris.Five out of five stars—we had the time of our lives and can’t wait to return!Thank you, Marsha!

A wonderful holiday getaway in Paris

The property was absolutely lovely and exactly as pictured—decorated in a quintessential Parisian style that made our stay truly special. It was ideally located, making it easy to explore Paris and the surrounding towns. Our host, Marsha, was incredibly thoughtful, preparing the property beautifully for our arrival and providing ample resources to help us get acclimated to the area.

Beautiful Flat and excellent location

Marsha has created a creative, beautiful and comfortable home away from home in a great location in Paris. Truly, a beautiful and well-sized flat. The master bed was very comfortable, and my daughter said the pull out was comfortable. There are great artistic touches throughout, books and CDs. Marsha created an excellent book with simple and clear instructions, a map and history. Close to several Metro and bus lines, you can travel all throughout Paris. There are great coffee, pastry, and other shops in the area or a very short bus ride away. This is a great location on the border of the Marais. Highly recommended.

Very clean, well-appointed apartment. Exactly as described and photographed. The owner/host is a kind, thoughtful and very thorough individual. The blue binder provided all the information we needed during our stay, and then some (history lesson included!). The location is ideal. Highly recommend this apartment for your stay in Paris.

Best Paris time ever!

From the time I arrived and was met by host Marsha to the time my friend and I checked out, our experience was the best! Marsha was kind, helpful, considerate, giving tips for the metro and nearby shopping in the neighborhood. Communication was easy and timely. This apartment is both roomy and cozy. There are an abundance of books, including helpful tourist books, and a binder of local recommendations. This 2 bedroom apartment is decorated beautifully. Comfortable beds and linens, a well appointed kitchen and having a washing machine and dryer was so helpful for my 3 week stay. Although on a somewhat busy street, with close proximity to 3 convenient metro stations, the sound proof windows mean it's quiet inside. You can't beat the location - in the Marais with an abundance of charming shops (Merci, Fragonard, and so many more) and so many excellent restaurants. With 3 metro stations, there is easy access to anywhere in Paris. Enjoy experiencing Paris as a local and stay in this lovely apartment! When I am lucky enough to return to Paris, this is where I'll hope to stay again.

Wonderful apartment - a home away from home

Wonderful apartment on the border of the 11th and 3rd, close to restaurants, markets, and the Metro. The host Marsha is warm and welcoming, and the check-in process was seamless. Even though it is on a fairly busy street, the apartment is very quiet at night. Highly recommended for a trip to Paris -- it felt like a home away from home. Don't miss going to Bisou across the street.

A perfect introduction to Paris

I can’t imagine a better place to stay in Paris than Marsha’s beautiful apartment. She was so kind and welcoming and the apartment was beautiful and had everything we needed for our 4 night stay. The location cannot be beat between 3 close metro stations and walking distance to restaurants, shops and markets. We did not want to leave and we highly recommend it. We hope to return some day!

Great apartment in revolution era building

Very nice apartment just on the edge of Le Marais. Plenty of space for the three of us that also included an updated full kitchen. The apartment is on a very busy boulevard but the windows are remarkably sound proof so no issues there. Plus it is walking distance to three different Metro lines. The host was very helpful and responsive. Overall an excellent place to stay.

A wonderful week in Paris

Best apartment we have ever rented. Ideally located on the border between the Marais and the Oberkampf, an easy walk to many attractions and beautiful neighborhoods. The apartment is well laid out for a visit of a week or more, with kitchen/living room, bedroom, and study. It is stocked with all the amenities you might need to cook or do laundry. There is a marvelous collection of books on art and literature in a variety of languages if you wish to take a break from the city. The host is gracious, knowledgeable and available.

Very well located apartment

This apartment is just outside Le Marais near la Place de la Republique, not far from shops and cafes on Rue Bretagne. Three metro stops on perhaps five lines are a few blocks away, and there is also a taxi stand nearby. The apartment is nicely decorated and comfortable, although I will note that both the elevator and the separate toilet space are quite small, so larger people may not be quite as comfortable. We stayed a week and were quite happy with our choice.

Perfect choice for a Paris stay

Marsha is a model VRBO host. Best experience we have had with an accomodation. The property is located within walking distance of the Marais neighborhood, Bastille, Place des Vosges, and Notre Dame. Metro line 8 is right outside the building and will get you to all the top sites with 1 transfer or none at all. Grocery stores on the block. Restaurants everywhere - hip, new places in Le Marais, fast food at Place Republique, brasseries on every corner. Highest recommendation!

Comfortable and cheerful apartment

The apartment was comfortable and clean. Marsha takes a lot of pride in making guests feel welcome. It is in a good location across the street from the Marais. You can walk to Notre Dame and the Seine. Very close to the Metro. The toilet is in a tiny room of its own. There is a tiny elevator, but it’s probably not wheelchair accessible.

Marsha was a very gracious host and was very welcoming. Communication before our visit and while we were there was excellent. Marsha answered any and all questions and was very accommodating. The apartment was very well equipped with all that we needed, including a comprehensive guide to the appliances, local attractions and dining. The unit was very comfortable, spacious and warm. This was also a very convenient place to stay with two close metro stations, groceries and dining.

Markets of Paris

Beautiful spacious apartment in excellent condition. Well equipped for food preparation and good location for access to many markets: Bastille, Popincourt, Aligre and Beauvau. Buses and metro are both very close to apartment making it very easy to travel around the city and visit other markets in different arrondissements. After many years of renting apartments in Paris (and other parts of France) this was probably one of our best experiences. Marsha is a very interesting and helpful host and we would certainly recommend this property. Jean and Jay Glasel

Great Location, Lovely Apartment

We loved staying at Marsha's place. It was so comfortable with everything we could have needed. It was very close to the Metro and a little market. Marsha is a wonderful host and we loved her blue notebook - full of info about the neighborhood, taxis, places to eat, shopping AND how to use her appliances. As Americans, this was the cherry on top since we are not used to European appliances and nothing is more frustrating than having a well-equipped apartment but not being able to use the appliances. If/when we get back to Paris, we would definitely stay here again!
