Julien's newly updated apartment provides a great place to stay in a central part of the Marais. It's perfect for one or two people. The apartment is situated so that it allows for great views out of the windows but with privacy. There is a living room/tv watching entry area plus a dining room/kitchen all in one area and then separately a bedroom with a larger than U.S. queen sized bed and then a bathroom with a shower. A clever washer/dryer for clothes is a very useful appliance for those considering a longer stay in Paris. The other appliances worked great including a dishwasher, coffee maker, stove, and shower with good water stream. The apartment is on the third floor in a building that lacks an elevator. I add as a cautionary note only for those with some physical limitations about going up stairs. We found this, however to be very doable, providing reasonable added daily exercise! Julien is a very communicative host and very easy to deal with.
