The apartment was pretty much exactly like the pictures. The apartment is located in a very cute part of the Marais. Less than one block from Musée Picasso, a wonderful, less crowded museum. It’s very close to cafes and public transportation, in multiple directions. The area has a lovey mix of travelers and Parisians. Bring earplugs though as the windows face a courtyard where the recycling is constant and sounds from the building echo and can wake you up. Not a big deal, if you have earplugs. If you have concerns about the loft stairs, maybe look for something else, otherwise they were ok. Communication with Nadia was easy and there is a contact person in the building if you need it. We were very happy with the space.
