This apartment is really perfect. It is beautiful, bright, clean and extremely central to le marais district. Amazing food literally at your doorstep. It it a "buzzing" neighborhood so it does have more street noise than most people are used to but it is certainly a trade off for having such an amazing location. The decks are nice and help air out the space. The kitchen and washing machine/dryer make it a convenient "home away from home". We walked ~5-10 minutes to the Notre Dame.
