We enjoyed staying at this place. The apartment was full of light with high ceilings and comfortable bed. It was an easy walk to Montorgueil and other areas in Le Marais. Although it was on the 3rd floor (US), the stairs were some of the easiest to climb that I'd encountered. The area directly around the apartment seemed safe enough, but we felt more comfortable coming back earlier in the evening (8 pm). From time to time, I could hear the same sound as metro train doors closing (not sure why since we were on an upper floor). But overall, it's a very comfortable place that has great proximity to a wonderful part of Paris. There are a couple different metro line stops within a few blocks which made it easy to catch the RER. Ester et Chaka are wonderful hosts.
