The apartment is very pretty and has an excellent location on Voltaire boulevard, in walkable proximity to the trendy Marais district, the Jewish quarter, the Pompidou center, etc. It's also close to metro stations to reach the center. Barbara was a great host, very friendly and responsive, and quickly solved any problems during my stay. However, there are some issues that bothered me:
- The bathroom right next door is shared with other tenants which might be an issue in the mornings/evenings (you have to wait for others to finish to take a shower). Also, in the room, you can hear the noise when someone is taking a shower. If you're looking for some privacy, you'd better consider other places.
- If you're a light sleeper, that's also not the place for you - there's a lot of noise at night since the room faces a busy street and the building is old. Unfortunately, I couldn't fall asleep on the first night because of some train/subway noise that you can hear at night even with earplugs.
