The neighbourhood was fantastic. Very conveniently located in the Le Marais district which has a lot of fantastic restaurants, bounlangeries and amenities (St Paul metro is located 5-10 minutes away).

We were received by Anne who introduced us to the apartment and was quick to respond to all of our queries before and after we checked in. She was very nice and granted us a late check-out the day before we checked in. Upon meeting us, she also helped us to carry some of our luggages up 2 flights of stairs.

However, we did feel like the apartment was a bit too cramped for the 4 of us, especially after we opened up our suitcases. As per the description, the first room you enter into consists of a kitchenette, sofa bed and square table. Once we pulled out the sofa bed (which was quite easy to set up), there was quite little walking space. The next room has a double bed as shown in the pictures. The apartment would've been more comfortable for just 2 people although it can technically accommodate 4. The toilet was also quite small and felt (to me) like it was 1 and a half shoulder lengths wide.

We were here in the summer of 2015 when there was a heatwave and it got quite hot on some nights. The apartment faces inwards so there isn't much ventilation at night. There was one only fan available so we took turns sharing it at night. When the windows are open, noise from the ground floor can be heard quite easily and I woke up a few times in the early morning to people going in and out of the building.

Wifi was also fantastic! After keying in the rather long password, the speed of the network was fast enough to stream movies.

Overall, the apartment is nice and cosy. Very good location and neighbourhood with plenty of good bars and restaurants around.
