Thoroughly recommend Joseph’s appartement. It was very comfortable, clean with lots of character. The weather was very changeable during our stay so it was great to have good heating. Travelling up and down the stairs with bulky suitcases is a bit of a challenge but we decided that on balance climbing all those stairs every day was a good thing, to offset all the cheese and wine we were consuming. The location is *amazing* - we walked everywhere and loved discovering the Marais in particular. We were a pair of friends travelling together so used the sofa bed downstairs as well as the bed upstairs - it was great to have our own spaces within the appartement and both were comfy. The bath/shower space is very snug - larger people may struggle a little. All in all it was the perfect base for us and we would definitely stay here again.
