We had a wonderful time! The location is excellent and outshines any limitations. Leaving the apartment and getting immediately onto the 1/Saint Paul is amazing! We enjoyed several wonderful meals and coffee nearby but most importantly we were so close to everything. This apartment is all about LOCATION!!
The apartment has some limitations you should be aware of.
-It is indeed a 2 story walk up.
-It is only one bathroom. The toilet is in a separate stall from the sink/shower.
- the two bedrooms at the rear were great for our teens but they are definitely a ‘double decker’. You enter the lower with the twin and there are then steps up to the other.they are not entirely separated. (They loved them!!)
-the main bedroom is nice but all the beds basically have futon mattresses. So just be prepared. The main one is supper cozy. A little hot if you need to run the heat but enjoyable.
-yes the shower is super small and hand held but it’s nice and hot with good pressure. We still give it two thumbs up!
Opening the window and seeing the life of the Marais basically makes every limitation invisible. We LOVED our week here.
