Franck answered my questions quickly. The location is perfect. We can walk to Notre Dame cathedral and surrounded by a lot of shopping malls, restaurants, and night clubs. Though its in Marais I feel inside the apartment is very relaxing and not noisy. The kitchen was in ready to use condition with pots, pans and utensils. The stairs will be your problem if you arent sure you can carry your luggage up without an elevator or you are an elder. I recommend this apartment. Its valuable and comfy.
