On the plus side, the apartment is spacious for two people, and aesthetically very attractive inside. It is convenient to Gare de Lyon and the Paris Metro system. Although it is walking distance to the vibrant parts of the Marais, the apartment itself is located in an area that does not have quote the charm you expect of Paris. On the negative side, the WIFI is spotty and very slow. If we had needed to do any significant online work from the apartment, we would have found it very frustrating. This was mentioned in other reviews. Some previous reviewers had mentioned an ill-draining shower; we also experienced the shower overflowing into the bathroom. Upon inspection, we found the drain quite full of hair. We cleaned it out and that fixed the problem. The front door handle was broken off when we arrived. It is hoped that will have been fixed for the next visitor.
