Germain's place is in the heart of the Marais, a great district. it's close to many metro stations and walking distance to heaps of tourist destinations. The apartmemt is clean, modern and well equipped. I read through previous critical reviews, and I can confirm that as of October 2022, there are hairdryers, the shower is modern, there is frosted glass for privacy outside the shower, the place is clean, kitchen had salt, pepper and oil. Everything worked well and was comfortable.
Germain was quick to respond and flexible.
Some people previously complained about the stairs (3 flights, 60steps) but perhaps they were new to France, i found the staircase fine and typical of a Parisian building.
A note about cooking: there are fryingpans but only one saucepan and no kettle. so if you want to boil water to make a hot drink and cook its impossible at the same time. Cooking a meal takes some organising.
Also, the bed: my first night was super uncomfortable in a very lumpy and hot bed. But then I realised there were 3 mattress protectors and a feather duvet under the sheet to smooth over the fact that the bed is 2 singles pushed together. Once I removed all that, the bed was one of the most comfortable I've slept in.
Overall I liked staying here a lot and thoroughly recommend it
