Galatee's place is right in the heart of the Marais, location could not be better. It's on the 5th floor of an atmospheric old building, and while the climb is indeed intense with a heavy suitcase, the Paris rooftop view from the apartment is stunning, especially when the sun is rising. As others have noted, the apartment is small (a little bigger than an average hotel room) but it's clean and very comfortably furnished. Everything I needed was there for me. Galatee's friend came to let me in and was very gracious when my train into Paris was delayed late in the evening. Overall this was a lovely stay and a great value and I would recommend it for a single traveler or a couple wholeheartedly.
