The place is located in an alleyway on the ground floor and in May it was still chilly indoors. I did not use the heater as it was too inconvenient to access the controls. The area is nice and safe, mostly young people and students, with lots of restaurants and cafes. Middle class neighborhood, so don't expect a high level of quality food and service. The bakery Bo, located 2 blocks away is great! 2 subway stations are within 3 blocks and you can walk in Le Marais as well as to St Honore and Rivoli and Tuileries. The apartment is decent for 1 person stay as it was for me. A second person would have made it very crowed. The staircase going to the bedroom upstairs is very small and even reduced by large art work cases mounted on the wall within the staircase.. I hurt myself twice :) . The bedroom and bathroom are very nice. The cabinetry and some plumbing is in need of maintenance The toilet is downstairs, which can be an inconvenience for some people . The kitchen is well equipped, but I did not use anything aside of the coffee machine that should be replaced . The place is very quiet and you can sleep well. All together it was an enjoyable stay.
