Nice apartment which is well served by metro and within walking distance to Louvre, Marais and other attractions. There are a lot of bars/restaurants in the area and one of Paris’ oldest Art Deco restaurants, Julien, is right across the road (great value, food, and ambience). It’s also only a short walk to the bistros and cafes of Rue Montorgueil. Several supermarkets and fruit sellers right downstairs. The area is very working class with lots of local characters and can be noisy at night, especially at weekends. We were careful with our personal security but had no issues.
Once inside, the apartment is renovated and modern, despite the dilapidated building entry and stairwell (which we were assured by one resident is safe). Lots of room in main living area, although quite limited seating other than at dining table. Beds were made up with lovely white linens (towels also good quality and lots of them provided). Sofa bed a bit squeaky and probably not great for couples. Good heating. Host responsive and helpful.
