The apartment was well located and the description met the facts on the ground with the apartment. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Paris based here. There Maraisbarea is busy and noisy, but that is Paris and it is a great area for looking for restaurants and bars. The key sights of Paris are all walkable, but the metro is within 100m and is very easy to use. The area is reasonably safe and we did not feel any undue concern in walking around at night.
A small key hiccup on arrival which was very well dealt with by our host, who graciously covered our lunch as a result. There was an issue with the access codes for the street door and then the iron grill door did cause some worry and although they were on our instructions, perhaps more elaboration on how they work would have assisted. Which I understand is being done.
Some of the walls need painting and some minor repair work is needed, which was mentioned in the description as being planned for August 17. Care needs to be taken with the windows, if it is warm they need to be left open at night and also secured so that they do not blow shut and smash if the wind picks up.
We did have one main disappointment with the cleanliness of the kitchen. Storage of pots and pans on the floor is not ideal and the amount of perishable foodstuffs (used, unused, out of date or indeterminate) from previous tenants should be better managed. Having said that, i understand that this will be addressed.
Overall I would rate the apartment 4-4+ and with the work planned to be done in August it should be up to a 5. it was still a very enjoyable visit to Paris.
