Perks for the Parents
This artsy loft apartment in the Marais district is calm, cozy and comfortable, just steps from Place des Vosges. It sleeps 6. The living area is very spacious with enough room to suit all the family and books, DVD players, Apple TV and games are in every bedroom. There’s a fully-equipped kitchen for families (including a juicer, coffee machine and food processor) and the host leaves a handy guide with addresses and activities for children nearby.
Why Kids Love it
There is plenty of room to play and relax and the host provides toys, DVDs of cartoons and family movies, plus a DVD player and Apple TV in every bedroom. The apartment suits all ages, but note there is no high chair. It is an easy walk to Paris’ most popular sights and there are parks with playgrounds close by, including one at Place des Vosges with sand boxes, slides and a jungle gym surrounded by elegant royal buildings.
Things to Know
Minimum stay: 2 nights. The apartment is on the third floor. There is a staircase (ungated) in the apartment. Cleaning and laundry can be arranged during your stay on request. It’s possible to rent 1 or 2 bedrooms of the apartment only on request. The hosts can also offer another apartment downstairs (sleeping 5) available to rent separately or in conjunction with this one, price on request. Car rental is not necessary: this area is well connected by public transport and parking (and driving) in central Paris can be tricky. Quiet hours starts at 10pm - please be respectful of neighbors and make no noise in the courtyard or staircase at night.
About the Location
The residence is located in the Marais district in the 4th arrondissement of central Paris. It’s a great location, 50m from Place des Vosges in a safe area with Vélib station just 20 meters from the building. This fashionable quarter has lots of restaurants and shops around, as well as several subways and bus stops nearby, making it easy to visit the rest of Paris. There are also playgrounds in local squares and family-friendly museums to visit. The Gare du Nord for Eurostar is 20 minutes away while Charles du Gaulle Airport is a 25-minute drive away.
Accommodation Details
This third floor family apartment has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. There’s a large open living room with dining table for 8, an open eat-in kitchen with table for 4 and 3 separate bedrooms, on different levels, offering privacy for all. The primary bedroom has a queensize bed (140cm); the second bedroom has a double bed and the third loft-style bedroom also has 1 single bed. There are two sofabeds in the apartment as well, each sleeping one person. The main bathroom has a walk-in shower; the other has a bathtub (connected to the primary bedroom).
Style Notes
Parisian charm. This loft-style apartment has plenty of charm, with old beams and a cathedral ceiling in the living room stretching up 5m, giving it the feeling of a larger house. There are white walls and painted floors, accentuating the light, sunny and modern feel, punctuated with a mixture of designer and vintage decor. We love the main living space with its white-painted beams, the quirky lighting and the unique fireplace.

The Marais, The 4th arrondissement
Bohemian and bourgeois
This historic district of Paris is a honeypot for the bobo generation - bohemian and bourgeois - with narrow streets, elegant buildings and bustling boutiques. It’s a fabulous place to stay in the city with kids, near to museums and galleries along with playgrounds and public squares.
