The Marais location is very local in feel. The Metro is close and easy. Neighborhood is lively.
However, the apartment is not suitable for 2 couples. One bedroom uses the bathroom in the living room which is so small you can’t turn around in it. There is no place for the towels and floor mat to dry. There is no place to put toothpaste. The drains don’t work well. All Paris apartments are small, but this layout has no closets and suitcases had to stay in the common area.
The apartment entrance has peeling paint and is dingy.
The living room space is nice. This could work best for a family with 2 children, not two couples- especially at this price point.
