This is an excellent apartment in every respect. It's spacious with lots of floor to ceiling windows that bring in lots of light. The location is superb, in the heart of the Marais and close to everything. The bathroom is spacious with a wonderful big shower. The kitchen is well equipped with two different coffee makers, kettle, and tea pot, as well as good knives and lots of cutlery, pots and pans. What sets the apartment apart from others is the attention to design. Vivid photos on the wall, integrated color scheme, comfortable varied furniture. The instruction manual for the apartment is thorough, and the response time of the host to any request is very quick and effective. There are three flights of stairs, but the apartment is worth the climb.
