All the charms of living in a traditional building in a lively neighborhood, combined with an updated interior with modern appliances and comfortable furnishings. Checking in and entry is easy via door codes. The unit is on a third-floor walk-up with narrow and slanted stairs, which may be challenging but is part of the charm of living in a traditional building. Inside, the apartment is completely updated and renovated, with modern appliances, TV, espresso machine, bathroom, etc. In addition, the location is great – some noise from being in a lively neighborhood as can be expected in cities, and all the benefits of living in the Marais (shopping, bars, restaurants, etc.) near the Seine with easy access to two nearby Metro stations. Easy and prompt communication. I would stay here again.
