The apartment was clean, with fresh linen. The location is on the north end of the Marais, looked ok but we didn't really explore the neighborhood. The apartment however lacks adequate heating, we couldn't find a heater in the bedroom and living room didn't throw enough heat. It was a cold night when we arrived and to make matters worse the windows had been left open. To be fair, we checked-in around midnight, so didn't feel like bothering the host and have her rectify the problem - we just bundled up with sweaters, comforters and made do.
