We had a great stay at this apartment. It is clean, comfortable, well equipped, and it is very pretty. It is near a couple of metro stations, and also within a short walk to restaurants and grocery stores. Very close to the Marais too.There are prostitutes and sex shops right outside the building, but we never saw anything of concern. I would recommend it to my friends, letting them know that it is not in a quiet or fancy area of the city.
