The great thing about this place is its location. You are in the heart of the Marais, steps away from the St Paul Metro stop, near grocery stores, patisseries, cheese and wine specialty stops. Your window will look out at the upper levels of St. Pauls Cathedral itself. Despite being in the thick of things the apartment is away from the street and reasonably quiet. But be aware you'll be climbing three flights of steep stairs to get to it, and the bed is a loft with a very low ceiling so you will need to be pretty limber to get up and down. While the place is small and a bit crowded, it is well laid out. I enjoyed my stay.
