Great location, close to everything Paris has to offer (Notre Dame, Pompidou, Marais). The building is located on a busy main street, but the apartment is tucked away in a private courtyard. This is not your usual apartment - it has a funky layout, and quirky artwork. It made Paris that much more interesting. It is a large apartment on Paris standards, and even more impressive when you consider it is in the heart of a major tourist area. There are no exterior windows in the living area, but there is an expansive glass roof letting in plenty of light. There are 2 sleeping areas - the sleeping loft is in the living area (no sleeping-in with the glass roof) and the main bedroom in the back is much darker. It was raining when we were there, and the glass roof leaked onto the loft bed. We ended sleeping on the sofas in the living room with extra sheets the host provided. The main negative for us was there were people in the courtyard from the other apartments that carried on loud conversations until 2-3am (not that the host could do anything about that anyway). Overall we enjoyed ourselves and had a pleasant stay. Thanks.
