The flat is well layed out, bright, private and well air conditioned. It was close to the Metro and some dining establishments. I was somewhat concerned about the area when I arrived as we had stayed IN La Marais previously and this listing is NEAR La Marais (my own mistake in not realizing it) and the neighborhood definitely had a little rougher of a vibe. But all concerns where unfounded. The property is a good deal for its location.
