My daughter and I spent four nights here, a couple nights during the heat wave of 100-degree temps. The apartment is two flights up, small, very clean, comfortable-firm twin beds. The clothes washer was a nice surprise and totally helped. My daughter used the loft to wind down at night, but mostly we just used the apartment to sleep.
Location - great! Very close to Arts e Metiere metro station, and we took the metro a lot.
Amenities - favorite amenity was the fan. We’d spent the day walking for hours in 100-degree temps. Then came home to the apartment with no AC. The apartment was hot. The fan helped but not as much as we wanted it to. We are from Texas and we know our high temps, but we also know our AC. We actually brought two extra little fans with us. Still, we slept over the covers, windows open, fans pointed right at us… still hot. That being said, when outside temps were more like 70-degrees, it was pretty comfortable.
Building - easy to find, two flights to walk up. The stairwell is not too narrow but it’s very dark at all times of the day. I have to add that the apartment was dead quiet all night. Like, surprisingly quiet for the city. It was very nice.
Comforts - loved the firm twin beds, the cool tile floor, the cool new shower, the little fridge with two giant bottles of water.
Overall, it was a wonderful stay. We loved being in the Marais area. Other than the heat - which the is clearly beyond the owners’ control - they did a great job of making us feel comfortable and happy.
