The location is very convenient; walking distance from the Seine and The Picasso Museum. The Marais is a beautiful area to walk. The apartment is a bit cluttered; there are two pianos in the living room and most of the table space is covered with books, pamphlets, and other tchotchkes. The living room has five dinner chairs that surround a trio of side tables. There is not a sofa in the living room. The bed is not exactly a Queen size bed and is more of a Full, but it is comfortable. There were flannel sheets on the bed. The bathroom does not have a shower curtain, and so quite a bit of water gets on the floor when you shower. There was also painting going on in the hallway during our stay which we were not alerted to. The fridge was stocked with some beverages and Jerome left us a bottle of wine, which was a nice touch. We had a great time in Paris and Jerome's place was a centrally located home base.
