Barbara's apartment is very attractive, super clean, and well-situated in the Marais neighborhood. We really liked the fact that the second room had twin beds which worked well for my sons. We didn't mind the walk-up since the boys carried my bags up upon arrival and then we were usually out for the whole day. Nice amenities here like a good hair dryer, espresso maker, tea kettle, etc. Bathroom is spacious and shower is great. We had terrible flight delays and Barbara was so helpful, generous, and flexible with all that we had to deal with. Rooms were pretty quiet--bar/cafe across the street, but rarely kept us awake. Would highly recommend!
