The location is fabulous, right in the heart of the Marais.
The property is rundown.
The neighbors threw noisy parties every few nights in the courtyard below the bedroom, featuring very smelly food, making it impossible for me to sleep in there at least 6 nights. Not the host’s fault, but I think this needs to be disclosed.
I wish the place’s quirks had been disclosed up front. I probably would have booked the apartment anyway but that would have saved me some unnecessary stress.
The apartment was spacious and comfortable for one person and Gabriella has made it charming and homey.
The steps are a bit treacherous and quite difficult with heavy luggage.
