Le Marais! Those two words summarize what makes this apartment so wonderful. There is truly no greater area in Paris to be located in, with cafes, restaurants and public transportation being so close and readily available. Staying at this apartment was a pleasant experience, and I will highlight both the pros and cons here:

PRO:

- Location, location, location
- Highly secure, and you can feel extremely safe in this apartment
- While in a very busy and exciting neighborhood, the apartment is still located somewhere quiet and plesant.
- Quite spacious for a small family
- The apartment is fully equipped and you'll be hardpressed to find anything missing
- The bed was very comfortable
- The storage area provided was spacious to unpack
- The gentlemen who greeted us and gave us a tour of the apartment was amazing and really helpful.

CON:

- The staircase to the apartment can be quite challenging with large luggages or strollers.
- The bathroom tub is difficult to access - you feel like you're climing just to be able to take a shower or bath (impossible to do if you're a toddler or a short person).
- Both the kitchen and bathroom sinks are hardly practical (they simply aren't deep enough to use properly)
- The washing machine (while quite good most of the time) ruined one of our shirts.

All in all, it was a great place to stay at considering you're in prime location, though a little bit of patience is sometimes required to get a response when communicating (expect 72 hours)
