A great location in the heart of the Marais, surrounded by cafes and shopping in all directions. Three major museums a few blocks away. An easy 10-minute walk from Chatelet, the major rail hub for CDG airport and Gare du Nord. The floor-to-ceiling windows open to provide a panoramic view of the historic streetscape, giving you a real sense of place. The very large bedroom is a welcome contrast to the tiny rooms in Marais hotels. The living room is a bit small and spartan in comparison, and would be more comfortable with additional lighting and furnishings. The kitchen is well-equipped with tableware; we don’t know how it would be for cooking. No shower, just a tub with handheld showerhead – not ideal, although typical of older French hotels and apartments. A few more amenities and adjustments (including improved toiletries and bedding) would make the apartment feel more welcoming, but it’s a real bargain for the location.
