Gladys was quick to reply to all our questions. The apartment is very well located in the marais, a short walk (c.5 minutes) to the nearest metro, with lots of restaurants and bars nearby. It is clearly a much loved apartment, regularly used by Gladys and her family, but without feeling too precious (so you can enjoy it happily with older children). The apartment's kitchen/living room face into a small, quiet, very peaceful courtyard, and the apartment itself is on the first floor; two of the four bedrooms face the street and were a little noisy at night from the adjacent bar, but this didn't bother us that much. We hadn't appreciated all the bedrooms interconnect, but that wasn't especially an issue for us as we were two families with small children, and the children enjoyed running around the apartment in a constant circle. The apartment is probably better suited to groups of adults or families with older children though, although Gladys very kindly got out some small kids' toys and french books and a baby play mat for us, which our children (ages 5, 4, 3 and under 1) all enjoyed. This is because care is needed in the living room as the windows open directly to the courtyard and are protected with two small bars which wouldn't stop a crawling baby or an adventurous toddler, and some of Gladys' pretty (but robust) ornaments are left out, so we had to move those around to higher levels to keep small hands away from exploring them! We found the kitchen and bathroom compact for two families sharing, but they were fine for their purposes - we appreciated the double sink in the bathroom. There is also a small landing immediately outside the apartment and at the bottom of the stairs, which was great for storing our buggy and scooters. Thanks Gladys!
