The photos of this place do not do it justice. For starters, the place is huge - probably bigger than most places in Paris! Second, being there feels more luxurious than the pictures suggest. Everything is new and very nice. We truly loved our stay here. The location was really great. In the past, we stayed closer to Saint Germain - but we liked this better - between Le Marais and the ile saint louis. We felt like we were truly living in Paris, not just visiting. We didn't want to leave. The place is right next to a school and the school's playground/courtyard, with the sound of a lot of children playing during the school day. It didn't bother us at all - it's too fun to be exploring Paris during the day. During the night and on weekends, the place was very peaceful and quiet. We would stay here again for sure.
