The apartment is in an awesome location,directly in the heart of the Marais. The second you hit the street there are people everywhere and it's lively in a good way. One day there was a crowd watching a Hollywood hair style cut hair in public. It's close to tons of shop, cafes, and only a short walk to the metro main line which runs along the Seine. The building is a bit old but no real issues except opening the front door. It's pretty quiet inside and I had no issues getting to sleep. There is also a room dividing the guest room and side of the apartment where the hosts's reside which gives a nice separation of privacy. The hosts Mat and Oly went out of there way to put up my terrible French and accepted my request to speak only French. Overall it was a nice experience. I can definitely recommend. Thanks, Matt.
