This is a gem of an apartment conveniently situated between Le Marais and the Canal St. Martin. It's large, and not just by Paris standards, and beautifully decorated, with lots of sunlight and balconies overlooking the street below. The kitchen is well-equipped, and it's nice to have two bathrooms when traveling with family. We also appreciated that both bedrooms were facing the courtyard, so very quiet at night. Although there was no AC, the interior temperature was comfortable, even during a heat wave. We did have an unfortunate issue with the lock, but it was resolved as well as could be under the circumstances. Overall the host was helpful and responsive. We hope to return again someday.
