The apartment is in a terrific neighborhood on a quiet street, but still close to the important things: subway (#8), restaurants, bakeries (my favorite was Boulangerie 28 on Blvd Beaumarchais: great croissants!) and shopping (Le BHV Marais). While a ground-level apartment, it still is quite private. The bathroom is spacious with a great walk-in shower. The kitchen has all that is needed for even a week's stay. The bed, from an easily convertible, modern sofa, is rather comfortable. The only time I heard the few neighbors in the building was when then entered the front door, and only for seconds. I recommend this apartment.
