The hustle and bustle of the Marais is right at your doorstep; this apartment is very well located, being close to restaurants, supermarkets, bakeries and fabulous shops. It is small but very comfortable; what you see in the pictures is what you get. We are a very tall travelling group - 5'10"', 6'2"'6'4" & 6'4". The upstairs loft was comfortable to sleep but we could not stand up and my husband found this very challenging. The stairs are really more like a ladder - very steep - if you have balance or mobility issues this is not for you. The lovely Paolo met us on time as promised and spent a good hour with us, familiarising us with the area. He could not have been more charming. He even brought us some larger towels when he saw the size of us! There are cooking facilities, a good sized fridge, a freezer, microwave, dishwasher, hair dryer, iron, great wi fi - we could not fault the amenities. Again, if you are a larger person the bathroom space could be challenging. The apartment is in the roof of a very old and beautiful building and there are 62? Or was it 64? Stairs to get there, some very narrow and winding, particularly directly as you approach the front door. This was good exercise! But consider this as you have to get heavy suitcases up and down. A moderate challenge. The view from the windows is a charming street scape - look out for the neighbour's cat! We loved our stay in the Marais and would stay in Paolo's apartment again.
