Good apartment. I stayed with my wife and 2 kids (8yr old boys). The pluses: 1) Location - quiet lane, yet in heart of Marais lots of shops/cafes/supermarkets nearby and republic station, with many lines. 2) good sized living room and kitchen, 3) overall big size of apartment given the area. The things to consider though 1) as description mentions, the 2nd bedroom is tiny, no windows and just about fits a bed. We used the sofa bed in living room and the other bedroom thru out, as that was enough for us. 2) the apartment is not as swanky and well lit up as in the pictures, though the pictures are correct but just that the apartment interiors are not as brand new as seen, 3) there are many, many artifacts and creative pieces in the house all over, which is great and cool in some ways, but could be a little bit cluttered too. Overall: I'd say go for it, hassle free owner and a unique french artist's home experience.
