The photos do not do the apartment justice. The ceilings are incredibly tall and the tall windows and balconies give you that Parisian architecture. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking in or brewing coffee in the provided French press. The location is convenient for exploring the Marais neighborhood or using public transportation to explore the rest of Paris. There is also a CMG gym nearby at République (just keep in mind this specific location does not have free weights, just machine weights) There’s a Monoprix super close to grab groceries and anything else you forgot like toothpaste. There is an in-unit washer/dryer combined machine to do laundry in. You will get street noise with the windows open which is expected for a metropolitan city. However, the double-paned glass windows and heavy curtains will shut it out when closed. Do put this apartment on your short list for Paris.
