Lara's little studio in the Marais is a sweet retreat, very close to Bastille and the Richard Lenoir market and the bustle of Place des Vosges but also quiet and sheltered. It's a good size for a couple, and only one flight of stairs to climb. The wifi is strong, steady and easy to access. The iron and washer dryer are very useful and Lara's foodie guide to the local area is wonderfully detailed. It's a simple flat with some nice design touches that still has a little of that student feel. We enjoyed our time there. It could use a fan to cool the air on stuffy days.
