The apartment was great, in a fantastic location at the northern edge of the Marais. An easy stroll to the Pompidou and all the little restaurants and cafes around it, about 25 minutes walk to the Seine, with great metro and bus stops moments away. The flat is cleverly renovated to provide 5 bedroom lofts, 4 doubles and 1 larger. You do have to climb a ladder to get into bed, which might be a problem for some, and there is only one combined bathroom/toilet. The bathroom is tucked under the building's staircase so showering is with a hand-held shower. It is very stylish and elegant and is set back from busy Rue St-Martin behind the main building and a courtyard, meaning the street noise is much reduced. There is a boulangerie and a mini mart directly over the road. Isabelle was extremely helpful a d we had a wonderfulstY in Paris. Many thanks!
