This was the perfect Parisian apartment in our view! Just as portrayed in pix. We spent 5 nights here during a big transportation strike, but barely noticed it. It is very near several subway stops in Haut Marais, but we were able to walk to most places we wanted to visit. It’s on the top floor of an old attractive building with small but fast and always working elevator! . On a quiet street with small art galleries, small biz, and other residences. Yet it is just off a busy area with grocery store and other conveniences. The living/dining area is spacious yet cozy, as is the comfortable bedroom. Big windows in the living area let in light and look out over Paris rooftops. Nice sunrises/sky at 8@am in winter! Each had an attractive nonworking fireplace. As others have said, apartment is tastefully decorated in shabby chic style, eclectic mix of antique and traditional furniture, lots of mirrors, gilded framed old pictures, art books, comfortable furniture. It’s very quiet and very secure. Nice to have small washing machine in the apartment and nice drying racks. Only Note only that the shower stall is small, so if you like or require big shower space, this may not work for you. It was not a problem for the two us sort of average sized geezers. And the shower itself has good pressure and lots of hot water. It’s all perfectly charming. We hated to leave and highly recommend!
