This apartment is very convenient to the metro. It is one metro stop past the Pompidou at Arts & Metiers in Le Marais and less than a ten minute walk to Hotel de Ville. There is a supermarket close by if you want to make some meals at home. The bathroom is modern- perfect for a relaxing shower before or after your longs walks throughout Paris. Katty was a great host, answering all of our questions and was very understanding and flexible when our flight to Paris was delayed almost three hours. I would recommend staying here. It was a reasonably priced Parisian apartment with modern conveniences and rustic charm.
