The fit and finish of this apartment is impeccable; it was obviously a labor of love. Guillaume is an amazing host and his responsiveness was fast and considerate at all times. His restaurant recommendations were right on! The area is safe and generally laid back, until the weekend arrives when Rue des Rosiers and its falafel shops are besieged by both locals and tourists. We spent 8 nights in the apartment and hit most of the notable museums and sites, which are easy to navigate from Le Marais. The #1 Metro line was a favorite and it was also fun to do a lot of walking around Paris' historic neighborhoods. The apartment is indeed cozy and comfortable and a great choice to stay! Paris has a lot of spiral stairs, as does the building, so leave your large suitcases at home (no need to overpack or overdress). P.S. Parisiens generally do not care how you dress.
