This place is in a wonderful arrondisssement and so close to so many of Paris' main attractions. The Marais is a terrific neighborhood and this place is right in the heart of it. There is a plethora of restaurants, cafes and bars in the immediate area, not to mention great shopping. We were a little disappointed with the amount of clutter in the apartment with clothing, books, magazines, suitcases and other personal belongings all around. The place could use a bit of updating, especially the kitchen and mostly the bathroom. The bed was comfortable and wifi and tv were great. We especially enjoyed sitting in the enclosed terrace with views of neighboring rooftops and chimneys. If a flat that provides a lived in atmosphere in the heart of a dynamic neighborhood with noises from bars below is your cup of tea, this might be the place for you. Also note it is a five story walk up. If you have heavy bags, you might find yourself having to take breaks on the way up.
