We are a family of four (two kids 8 & 13), who stayed here for four nights in August. The Bastille Marais apartment is exactly as portrayed in the pictures. It was beautiful, bright, airy and welcoming. The apartment is located on the very edge of Le Marais, so not in the heart of the neighbourhhod, but a quick walk. There are two metro lines mere minutes away from the apartment; a two minute walk and a five minute walk. It took us 15 minutes to get to Gare Austerlitz (on the train actually) from the door of the apartment. We walked to many places quite easily, including Note Dame. The apartment has all the necessities for a comfortable stay; a well equipped kitchen, a good shower (and separate bath), a small elevator to get you and your luggage to the fifth floor and comfortable beds. Please note, if you are larger and/or are claustrophobic in any way, the separate toilet area may prove a bit challenging, the space is very tight and awkwardly snapped. All in all, I would highly recommend this apartment, plus the hosts were very informative and welcoming.
