Very interesting location and close to a few wonderful restaurants and a busy late night cafe. If you want any host pampering this is not for you. It is great if you want no interaction and just want to be left on your own. Make sure you find out how things in the house work before you go. Walking distance to the Marais and the street is full of shopping and restaurants and bus stations but at present is under construction so you need to find out where the bus does stop at this time. The courtyard is busy with people coming to do yoga and take theatre classes so is also interesting in that way. It feels very much like a neighborhood that is wonderful and not touristy.
