The apartment is well placed and pretty much as described in the listing. It's quiet, and has air conditioning and a lift. It is quite small, more so than I expected. Communication prior to check-in could have been better. I emailed twice before I left home in Australia but there was no response. However when I landed in Paris I had a text message so I had a number to contact. However my three text messages were not answered as I made my way on the metro to the address and I finally hade to phone Rahim to find out what was happening. From then on, everything was fine. I'm not sure about value for money- I would need to compare with other properties in the Marais.
