This is a lovely, quite sumptuous flat in the middle of the bustling Marais district. It's not large, but has everything you'll need (unless you're thinking of doing a lot of cooking - the kitchen is quite minimal). The street is very lively and there is noise, but the windows are double glazed and very effective at keeping people and traffic sounds out. Inside, the amenities are very good and the bed is absolutely great - wonderful linen! We were able to walk to just about everything and there is a Metro stop just down the road. The Marais is known for its restaurants and bars and there are lots within easy walking distance. We would happily recommend Thomas' flat to anyone looking for a 5-star hotel quality stay at a fraction of the cost.
