The location was wonderful. The Marais district is a great place to stay, close to everything with wonderful restaurants and shopping. More than adequate for 2 people to stay, not more. Great shower, very comfortable bed, good bedding, and so nice to have a combination washer/dryer. Room had no view but we were not there much during the day anyway. Also, walking from the street entry to the front door of the flat was depressing - past walls that needed repair, trash cans, rusty pipes and in general through a space that did not give a good impression of the very lovely flat at the top of the stairs.
