Merveil - Luxury Suite - Marais - Antoine I

This was a beautiful retreat from busy days and nights in Paris. Bright, cheery and well appointed. Beds were comfortable,nice linens and towels. Location was great. It’s in a lovely area, convenient to shops and metros. The corner is bustling at times, fun to people watch and good windows and curtains to cut out the noise and light when you want to. Highly recommend

It was listed (and priced) as luxury rental for up to 10 adults. Thankfully, there were only 4 adults - and only 4 days for that overlap! The bathroom/toilet situation was quite unclear on site - from first hand, please note: 1. There are ONLY TWO toilets...ignore the other logos. Only one of these is in a bathroom and actually adjacent to a bedroom. 2. One of the bathrooms listed is a clawed tub and sink INSIDE a bedroom- not a separate room, it is next to the bed. It is listed w a fully equipped kitchen. There were three cutting knives - a bread knife and two paring knives, and the latter two were so dull, they were butter knives essentially. We had to purchase paper towels and detergent for cleaning, although bathrooms did have toiletries. There were no baking sheets, foil, or similar to really cook. The fridge was at least huge. The heater was challenging in that it seemed to have a cutoff for energy savings - great idea but in the middle of the night was less than ideal. Communications were quick from host - and appreciated the communication in English for clarity. Entry direction and access was super. But I am 14 days + returned and still having discussions on deposit refund which is frustrating. While a nice property, and a convenient location, it did not live up to the price or the VRBO expectation when we have rented with luxury in the description.
