The studio was clean, comfortable and well equipped. It also has a Nespresso machine. The location was close enough (literally a couple of minutes on foot) to Bastille and Place des Vosges but on the other side of Boulevard Beaumarchais and therefore the area lacks the charm of the typical Marais area.
The description of the property includes French windows. This is somewhat stretching the definition of French windows and I found it slightly misleading. The studio is a couple of steps down from pavement level and the 'window', which is a fixed glass panel is what separates the studio from the street. Although the street is not very busy (there are no bars/restaurants), it seems many late night revelers pass by the street. Having been there on a weekend, out sleep was disrupted time and time again.
On a final note our host was friendly and welcoming.
