The apartment was absolutely clean and modern with everything that you need for a long or short stay. We stayed 3 weeks and walked to Le Marais almost every day. You can also walk to the St. Martin's Canal. It's a great place to spend a Sunday and to take a canal ride. (Pick up boat on the Seine.) A supermarket is about a block away, the bakery is next door and the Metro less than a block. Super location. Adrian responded to our questions within about 10 minutes and was a great help. The only downside is that the passage outside of the windows is occasionally noisy at night when trucks go by. Very private location on a private passage.
