The good: Convenient location in the south of the Marais. Very very quiet bedroom, despite the activity all around. Clean. Fast reliable (altho small) elevator. Comfortable bed (with crinkly waterproofing on the mattress.)
The less so good: Building hallways (outside the apartment) were very run down and dirty with major plaster cracks and torn and peeling wallpaper. Apartment furniture was charmless.
The strange: The nightstand wrapped in Saran wrap. The wire with alligator clips hanging over the bed.
