This apartment is centrally located in the Marais, on a major street which was very close to bus and metro stops so transportation very easy! Many cafes and store are within steps of the front door. The apartment itself is on the 4th floor so while one can hear the street below, it wasn't overly noisy. We slept with a fan at night to drown out street sounds.
The place is spacious and well stocked for cooking (though we ate every meal out) and the host genreously made food in the pantry / condiments etc. available to us. We slept comfortably in the beds and enjoyed reading in the main room. The apartment felt authentically parisian in decor and very much like someone's home rather than a rental apartment. It is not modern and not new... lots and lots of old books line the shelves and the furniture is comfortably worn. All in all we enjoyed the eclectic ambiance and felt that it offered good value for the size and location in the middle of summer time toursim.
Check-in / check-out was generous relative to timing and host was was super responsive.
