Iliana's place is in a lovely location, very close to lovely shops and restaurants, but pretty quiet with limited noise at night which was good. It's very easy to walk to many places, so we mostly just walked everywhere, but the metro stop is very close. There are a lot of stairs to the apartment so be warned! We had too much luggage which made it a bit difficult. But that's part of the fun staying in an apartment in an older area like Le Marais. The bath tub is quite small with just a hand shower that doesn't have a hook so you kind of sit down to have a shower. We managed ok. We were mostly out so didn't do any cooking at home, it's a fairly small kitchen but I can't comment on the cooking facilities. There is a single bed and a double bed, both very comfortable. We'd both happily stay in Iliana's apartment again.
