After one month's stay in this apartment in Le Marais, we would like to recommend it to those who come to Paris for a short stay. Convenience is surely its strongest advantage. The location is truly great, with 3 metro stations, Centre George Pompidou and several other interesting spots, 3-4 supermarkets, and several Asian-style budget eateries within walking distance. There are Internet and telephone to use, which were a big plus for us as we were able to get online and also make unlimited phone calls to landlines in Taiwan. The kitchen is small but equipped with all necessary eating and cooking utensils, which facilitated our preparation of meals by ourselves (instead of dining out every evening). In addition, Frank is very friendly and has been really attentive and helpful. We would like to express our gratitude to his prompt and effective responses to all our requests.
Yet there are some drawbacks that one may want to consider before making the final decision. First and foremost, the shower stand is rather small, so it will be difficult to bend over and wash one's long hair (if that's the case) or to turn around inside. However, if you only come for a short stay, spend a lot of time outdoors and only come back for a quick shower and rest (like most tourists do), the shower stand is still acceptable. Second, the apartment is not very bright even in the daytime, so basically you will have to turn on the lights most of the time. Yet again, tourists probably won't stay in the apartment during daytime, so it should be okay for those who come for touristic purposes.
To sum up, we felt rather satisfied with this apartment and sincerely recommend it to those in search for short-term accommodation in Paris.
