A charming apartment with fully equipped kitchen in the heart of the Marais, one of the most vibrant and historically interesting quarters in Paris. It is walking distance to numerous landmarks, great restaurants and music venues. And, of course, virtually every point in the city is a short Metro ride away. The fact that it is a four-story walkup means you will get plenty of exercise coming and going - on top if the huge amount of walking you will probably do around Paris. The constant stair climbing did not bother me - in fact I welcomed the exercise. But if you have significant orthopedic or respiratory problems, you might want to think twice before renting this one. The apartment is extremely sunny and bright - and the piece de resistance is the terrace overlooking city streets and rooftops. A perfect place to cool down after a long day, with a glass of wine - or just water.
