Live Like A Parisian

Charming Parisian Rooftop Apartment in the Heart of Le Marais :
Welcome to my charming rooftop apartment, bathed in natural light and quintessentially Parisian. Located on the 6th and top floor (elevator access to the 5th floor) of a beautiful 19th-century stone building, this stylish retreat offers the perfect blend of historic charm and modern comfort.

Being on the top floor, the apartment feels like a romantic nest above Paris, offering tranquility and an escape from the bustling city below.

Situated in a prime location in Le Marais, on Rue des Francs Bourgeois, right in the center of Paris, you'll be surrounded by historic buildings and just a stone's throw from Place des Vosges. With countless restaurants, shops, and cafes at your doorstep, you can easily explore the city on foot.

Stylish and Comfortable Living Space :
The apartment is decorated with designer furniture and antiques, including pieces by Le Corbusier. The living room features authentic designer furniture and vintage decor from the 1940s and 1950s, curated from auctions and antique shops.

You'll also find an extensive collection of architecture books, perfect for a relaxing day indoors.

The bedroom offers a mesmerize view of Saint Paul Church and the Parisian skyline. Enjoy the morning sun streaming through the south-facing window, making it hard to leave the comfort of the bed.
I provide two types of pillows to suit your preference, and there's ample wardrobe space for your belongings.

Well-Appointed Bathroom and Kitchen
Unwind in the bathroom's small tub after a day of exploring the city. The kitchen, though compact, is fully equipped with a coffee machine, microwave and dishwasher, ensuring you have everything you need for a pleasant stay.

With high-speed internet, the apartment is well-suited for both work and leisure.

A washing machine and dryer are available on the same floor for your convenience.

I provide bed linen, towels, tea, and coffee to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

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.

Superb!!!
After our five-night stay at this idyllic Parisian apartment, I cannot imagine returning to Paris and staying anywhere else!! The location in the Marais neighbourhood is absolutely wonderful with many great shops and restaurants all within a stone’s throw of this rooftop retreat. With a short walk to St. Paul metro station, all of Paris is accessible! On top of it all, Mathieu is simply fantastic!!! Despite being on holiday himself during our stay, Mathieu was so welcoming, kind, attentive and helpful! His restaurant recommendations were all amazing and he constantly did everything he could to ensure our stay was a pleasant one! Merci Mathieu for making our Paris Olympic adventure even more fantastic than we could have ever expected!!!

Parisian rooftops
This elegant rooftop apartment is a delight, ideally located, light filled, and very comfortably furnished. We had a lovely stay, and enjoyed gazing across the rooftops and down on to the street below. We had all the amenities we required for a short break, and enjoyed perusing the many books and magazines provided. There is even a brand new lift, French style, to take us to the fifth floor, so only one flight of stairs. Mathieu is a charming and considerate host and made us very welcome. Highly recommended.

Beautiful apartment in ideal location
I stayed here for a week with my teenage daughter for a mother-daughter trip, and the apartment was lovely. It was on the smallish side, but we expected that. We had everything we needed here. We did not cook - other than making coffee in the morning - so I cannot speak to how it would have been to cook in the kitchen, as it was very small. We were very glad that the elevator had been installed and was working, as it would have been difficult to drag our suitcases up 6 very narrow flights of stairs, so the elevator was appreciated! The neighborhood was perfect - charming, beautiful, with cafes and interesting shops all round. We could not have been happier with the location and the apartment suited our needs very well.

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.

A Very Enjoyable Accommodation but Check the Ascent
I really enjoyed this property because (a) it's very comfortable, well-appointed and modern (b) it's quiet (c) it was in a good location (at least for my needs). That said, it's on the 6th floor of a 6 floor building. An elevator is being installed but was not completed before my stay began. The owner explained this to me and I was aware that the elevator night not be complete, and indeed it was not. I knowingly accepted the risk. I'm fit but going up 6 flights with a heavy suitcase and backpack was challenging. I also walk everywhere in the city (with few exceptions), and after hours of waking the vertical climb was not exactly the best part of my day. My recommendation would be to understand if the elevator is functional when you commit to the rental, unless you enjoy significant exercise. The location suited my needs because I could walk to many places of my interest. Also, there is a taxi stand 5 minutes away for more far-flung points. I prefer to stay above-ground, either on-foot or in a taxi to see the world around me. For that reason I can't comment on the metro. I had a wonderful stay in Paris for my 4.5 day sejour, which occurred during school vacation week. I would say that if you have your heart set on seeing particular sites, buy tickets on-line well in advance. You might find yourself disappointed, otherwise. Thanks to host Mathieu for his responsiveness and fine hospitality.

The property looked incredible on VRBO but the reality of it, the location and more importantly Mathew exceeded our expectations. He is as charming as Paris itself and made our anniversary trip even more special! The location can't be beat and you should stop looking for another property and book this one ASAP!
