This is a charming apartment with traditional decor that is clean and well-maintained in a perfect location for anyone planning a short visit to Paris and relying on the Metro to move around. The kitchen and bathroom are small but serviceable while the living room is bright and spacious, We were able to open the windows to enjoy a constant cool breeze during the hot early week of July when we visited. The Le Marais district is a perfect place from which to plan one’s exploration of the city as the nearby (a three minute walk) Republique station is a Metro hub where five lines converge and yet there are none of the swarms of tourists one finds closer to the main sights. The nearby Monoprix has everything you would expect from a quality French mart. But if you plan to get off to an early start, purchase your croissants and brioches at the boulangerie on the Rue du Temple just next to the corner with Rue Beranger, as the Monoprix doesn't open until 0900 a.m..
