The Neighborhood:
Outstanding location in the best part of the Marais. The Place des Vosges, Picasso Museum, art galleries and museums are within walking distance. As for restaurants and shops, you are simply spoilt for choice. The closest metro stop is 10 steps away, main bus routes pass nearby. That said, its central location means that the best way to get around is by foot. Or on bike!

Outstanding(139 Reviews)4.8
Wonderful location, right near metro and lots of restaurants. Easy to get to the major attractions but our area felt more relaxed. Comfortable apartment and James was very responsive when I had a question. Worked well for our group of 8 (4 adults and 4 kids). Would stay again!
4.8
The apartment was very comfortable for our family four. We had more than enough space with two teenagers. The location was excellent. It felt very safe.
Like other reviews, the laundry machine was very difficult. Had to take wet clothes on the plane. It worked for us the first time, but not the second time and both loads were the same size. Some of the dishes/silverware were a little dirty maybe from a past guest, so I’d recommend cleaning things before you use them. The apartment doesn’t come with coffee but there’s a convenient market just down the street. Otherwise, the apartment was great. The owner left a bottle of wine, which we didn’t drink, but was very thoughtful. The owner also helped with arranging transportation, and he was very kind to work with us, even though he was traveling. Overall, I give it five stars and would recommend!
4.8
Amazing location. so many wonderful shops nearby. would stay here again.

4.8
Lovely place in an excellent location. Highly recommend!
4.8
The apartment is beautiful and with many facilities that help you a lot during your stay, the beds are very comfortable and cozy, so you feel at home from the first moment.
Also, the landlord helps you a lot in case you need something in your stay, and makes things easy for the day of your arrival as well as your day of departure.
I would definitely repeat my experience in this magnificent apartment.
4.8
Very well located in the heart of Paris, walking distance to many monuments/key places.
The property was comfortable clean and spacious. We would rent again
4.8
We cameto Paris from Boston and loved our home away from home in the heart of Paris' Marais district. With easy access to the Metro in an area filled with restaurants and shops, the location was perfect. The apartment was clean and spacious for our family of 5 giving the kids plenty of space to relax after a day of walking the city. The apartment was in good condition and perfect for a family vacation. My only gripe was the combined washer drier but we got it to work. Just as americans we aren't used to them.
4.8
…and GREAT location. Merci James

4.8
I would like to have had more towels supplied. The washer/dryer combination did not work efficiently.
4.8
Wonderful location. James and his team at Pad A Terre were really easy to deal with, helpful and reactive. Fantastic base to explore Paris. We used the car service and it made for a good start to the trip with red eye jet lag! Merci
4.8
I stayed here with my family of 8 before XMAS. The location was great which made sightseeing a breeze. ! I would definitely recommend
4.8
Group of 6 girls all interested in art. Our main plan was to hit the local galleries and we did just that. The apartment was so well located for us. Safe neighbourhood for a group of ladies. Thanks so much James for taking good care of us
4.8
Large comfortable apartment in the Marais, perfect for our family (4 parents, 4 college kids). The felt was well maintained and It was easy to walk everywhere. Stacks of shops and restaurants on the doorstep. James was extremely helpful and responsive during the whole of our vacation. Before and after our stay. We would love to have the opportunity to stay here again!
4.8
Well-located, roomy, and well-appointed. Seamless interaction with Pad-a-Terre, which provided all in info we needed. Highly recommend.
4.8
We loved the apartment and Pad A Terre's service was faultless. I would not hesitate to book again
4.8
The location of the apartment is truly unbeatable. Proximity to the metro, shopping, restaurants in a very chic and welcoming neighborhood. Having a lift was a huge plus as we were traveling with an older family member.
4.8
We were traveling with 3 adults and a small child. The apartment had curtains so rooms are dark. The living room space is large enough space for all of us. Bathrooms and hot water was good. Washer dryer was not working well. We used it once and it kept our clothes pretty wet and the dry function was not working.
4.8
We loved our stay at Marais Musée Picasso! The location and proximity to cafes and shops was so perfect for our family. We were able to stop by the local grocery to pick up some snacks and essentials for our family and enjoyed dining out at all the local restaurants. It was such an easy walk to the surrounding sites as well. The apartment itself was perfect for our family of six. Having the two bathrooms, kitchen, and washer/dryer combo made our ten day travels a breeze. You won't regret booking with Pad-A-Terre!
4.8
We had a great time and the apartment filled our needs perfectly.
4.8
Loved the location. Feet from the Metro, and never a far walk to a cafe or restaurant or market. Got fresh produce every morning and pastries before starting the day. Walking distance to amazing shopping and beautiful parks. Never overcrowded and we felt like this was the ultimate Paris experience at our location.
4.8
These guys are pros and our experience was fantastic. Three large bedrooms and two great full bathrooms. So nice to have kitchen and laundry and strong AC, too. Could not ask for a better location—Marais has it all. I would stay in any Pad à Terre anywhere as the owner clearly has great taste and knows how to make a top notch guest experience. Great value across the board.
4.8
We had the pleasure to stay at James's apartment!
We were there for a weekend, the apartment is located perfectly, near to many Coffee's and restaurants, a moment away from the Metro [which we didn't use so much as the location is so good we ended up walking for most days]
the place was clean and spacious, just as you see on photos!
Communication was perfect with James and Staff.
Easy Check-In, Easy Check out.
we would love to come back and stay again!
Thank you sop much!
4.8
Our family stay in Marais Musée Picasso was wonderful. The district and street location is ideal for walking around to cafes, shops and museums. It’s also steps from the metro! Check in was simple with the help of one of the team members walking us in. The apartment is spacious, simply-appointed and we were most thankful of the air conditioning keeping up with the demands of the heat wave during our visit.
4.8
We loved our week long stay in the Marais. The apartment was clean and exactly as described. The AC was a welcome relief after long days outside. And the Marais was a perfect location for tourists who love to stay in a real neighborhood rather than a hotel. Lots of local cafes and shopping to keep us busy at night too!
4.8
We only had a few days to spend in Paris, so as I was deciding where to stay location was very important. We were not disappointed!! The apartment was beautiful, exactly as represented in listing pictures. The location was great, nice neighborhood and very close to a metro station. We had a party of 6 ranging in age from 6 years old to 60’s and we were all comfortable. Communication was excellent from booking through the whole stay. We also used the airport pickup/drop off which was well priced compared to others and easy to use. Overall the only thing I would have changed would have been to stay longer!
4.8
Apartment was spacious for 6 adults. Walkable to Notre Dame and the Left Bank. Great cafe’s and markets close by. Will definitely be back!
4.8
Great location, steps from metro and lots of restaurants and pastry shops in the area.
3 full sized bedrooms gave us lots of room for our family Paris visit.
Highly recommend this apartment and location. Elevator to this 3rd floor apartment a bonus.
4.8
I can’t imagine a better location for an apartment in Paris: metro station just around the corner, ample opportunities for food shopping nearby, walking distance from iconic Marais locales such as Place de Vosges. Our party of 4 mature adults were very comfortable in the 3 bedrooms & kitchen is well-equipped for basic cooking tasks (especially appreciated the salad spinner & Nespresso machine!). Apartment Guide was very thorough & informative, And there’s a lift! We very much appreciated the link to a driver & ride service for pickup/drop-off at train station or airport upon arrival & departure. Super helpful! We would definitely stay here again!
4.8
Overall, this was a great apartment. It had plenty of room for 5 of us and we enjoyed having a comfy couch, chairs and a table to relax in. The location is excellent, 3 seconds from the St. Sebastien-Froissart metro stop and surrounded by tons of cute restaurants, boulangeries, markets, etc. I would definitely stay in this area again. The apartment was reasonably clean, most of us found the beds comfortable and the kitchen was functional. My only real complaint was the showers which we didn't love. I would stay here again.
4.8
We greatly enjoyed the apartment and would recommend it to anyone considering it. Fantastic location and a beautiful apartment.
4.8
Great location and nice to feel like we were residents.
4.8
This three bedroom apartment with two baths could not be more conveniently located not appropriate for a family or group of friends. I’ve worked with Pad a Terre for many years and this was another wonderful experience.
4.8
What a lovely apartment! The apartment is spacious, clean, and centrally located to major tourist sites. Our family had a wonderful stay and I highly recommend this place.
4.8
Wonderful central location, plenty of sleeping room, living and hanging out area, kitchen space. Stayed warm in February with lots of pillows and easy access with the elevator.
4.8
Quiet area, yet so close (10-15 walk or metro 100m from apartment) to main tourist areas. There is a local Paris feel here. Metro outside, grocery across the street, and several bakeries close by (within 3 min walk). Dupain across the street has amazing breads, but Le Fournil de Paris a few minutes away was our favorite. Unit was great for family of 4. Second visit to Paris and this area is our favorite. Unit is clean, modern and up to date. Owner/Manager communicates easily and quickly via text or WhatsApp and you can order taxi service from/to airport through their checkin website.
4.8
A beautiful spacious apartment in a gorgeous location in the heart of the Marais district close to the Metro. We had a wonderful holiday and look forward to returning.
4.8
We love staying in an apartment rather than a hotel, because it is so relaxing. You have more room and can fix a cup of coffee in the morning rather than going out of your room to get it or calling for room service and waiting. We never cooked, but it's great to have a refrigerator to keep snacks and drinks. Overall I feel working with James was a great experience and the website Guest site is extremely user friendly with all the information you need. Many thanks for a perfect relaxing apartment in the beautiful city of Paris!
