Charming ground floor apartment in the Marais neighborhood with all modern, recently re-modeled conveniences, inside the old stone foundation walls of the building. Those old walls are settling so sometimes it takes a few tries to get the key to work on the front door -- we figured it out quickly. Tall windows make the apartment bright and light. Includes a full size refrigerator in an up-to-date kitchen. On a pedestrian street away from the city-noise of Paris, the elementary school down the street is loud at times during the day and at night every footstep and whisper in the street comes through the windows. While it's very quiet when nothing is going on, it's hit or miss on a good night's sleep if party people or Banksy-wannabe graffiti artists are out and about. The hosts provide some excellent tips on finding cafes, bakery, and grocery stores all within a 5-10 minute walk. The Marais is a vibrant neighborhood and we enjoyed being part of it!
