Unbelievably wonderful location in the Marais--open air market and beautiful restaurants and shops around the corner, easy to bus lines and subway lines, safe--and check out the fantastic Chinese dumpling shops a block away! Even during the terrible heat wave and on the 5th floor, great air circulation in the apartment and we were comfortable. Two families of four (with young kids) all stayed there very comfortably--plenty of space, great kitchen, etc. The only thing we'd request is to ensure more supplies of the sort like toilet paper, dishwashing detergent, etc. Antoine extremely responsive, cleaning lady (whom we happened to meet) very nice, very careful, very thorough. We felt lucky to be in such a spacious apartment in one of the best neighborhoods in Paris. Yes, it's a fifth floor walkup--if you have a hard time with stairs and luggage, it might not be for you--but we managed just fine. Our three year old trooped up and down easily.
