Location, location, location. This is why we chose this apartment. Le Marais is a lovely area in which to stay as there are cafes/restaurants/grocery stores/pharmacies close by. Our family of 5 stayed during winter and yes, I had read previous reviews about musty odours but knew this was an apartment in a very old, historic building and that this could be expected. Once the rooms were sufficiently heated after check-in, the odour could not be detected and that’s how it was for most of our stay. It was raining in Paris on and off while we were there as well. The apartment was warm, cosy with comfortable, clean bedding. We were out discovering Paris for most of our stay but used this accommodation for some r&r at the end of each day with cuppas and some reading (there are shelves with interesting books on Paris)/ tv viewing, a sound sleep and morning preparations before heading out. There is a washing machine/dryer all in one, as well and a kitchen and bathroom. The apartment is accessed up 3 flights of curling stairs. There is usually plenty of public transport close by but despite the train strike, we managed on foot, used what metros/buses were available if relatively ‘close’ (thank you, CityMapper) or caught taxis/Ubers.
