This apartment is located in the Marais, a great, safe, neighborhood. We enjoyed the simplicity of the apartment and it was very clean. We had a fridge and washing machine, which really helped. A drying rack is in the closet that sped up drying time. Emmanuel put together a book showing local restaurants and their price ranges. We did not have a hard time finding cafes, restaurants and gelato only steps from the door. Several Metro stops are closeby as well. We used the Metro often and saw all the sites. Overall, I think this is a good value.
