This apartment was in an excellent location in the Marais. It was easy to walk everywhere and there were many subway stops nearby. It is also on a relatively quiet street. Myra and the greeter, Victoria, were very flexible and patient when our arrival was delayed until almost midnight due to the train strike, which was much appreciated. The apartment is decorated very nicely, very clean, and well stocked with kitchen supplies & coffee. Nice collection of books too. We also felt very safe & secure with the private courtyard entrance. The downsides are that the cable tv did not work while we were there, the wifi only worked well on the lower floor, and the people who slept upstairs found some of the beds to be pretty uncomfortable. The shaky spiral staircase took some getting used to. Only small people can comfortably use the upstairs bathroom/shower. Finally, the wall opening between the master bedroom and the main bathroom (which all 5 of us used because the upstairs one is a bit cramped) was a little weird to deal with! But overall a very nice place and I would stay again, just maybe with less people.
