This apartment is in the ideal location. The Marais is absolutely the best place you can stay in Paris. Lots of wonderful cafes and restaurants, boutiques, art galleries, etc. It is a short walk to the metro station and you can go anywhere. The Picasso Museum and the Pompidou Museum are short walks away. There are lots of people out and about and it feels very safe. The owner of this apartment is so very nice and helpful. He gave us lots of tips and suggestions of things to do in the area, and even warned us about days when the weather was going to be unseasonably warm. I recommend this property 100 percent. When we return to Paris we would love to stay there again!
