The Marais is an exciting quarter of Paris & Ludovic's apartment is well placed. The lofty living space is lovely. The low ceiling height upstairs was challenging for us. The dishwasher did not clean the dishes well...but hopefully the maintence will be attended to promptly. Otherwise we thoroughly enjoyed our stay & the 2nd floor was easy to access with wide low-rise steps & the apartment has great security. Notre Dame is an easy 7 mins walk, Centre Pompidou a 5 mins walk & the Hotel de Ville Metro is a 5 mins walk. Ludovic generously allowed us a Late Checkout at no extra charge so we were able to enjoy one more early lunch before leaving Paris for our flights home.
