The apartment was like the pictures. It is located in a fantastic neighborhood with easy access to the metro. You are close to everything and many sights are walking distance. There are a lot of stairs - 4th floor walk up - so be careful of bringing heavy luggage. Also, the apartment only has one toilet which can be tough with two couples. But, overall it was a very pleasant stay in a nice apartment with many amenities. Le Marais neighborhood was fabulous.
