The apartment suited our needs completely, although I could see that the size and layout may not work for everyone. My husband is tall but had no problem navigating the ladder up to the low-ceiling-ed sleeping loft. The location is perfect, close to a Metro entrance, bus stops and taxis around the Bastille roundabout. There are plenty of restaurants and shops within walking distance. The Le Marais neighborhood is charming and easy to navigate. We were very surprised at how (relatively) quiet it was (some street noise that we could only hear when we had the windows open). We selected this apartment based on location and cost, and it did not disappoint. Xavier was a great host who provided everything promised, and allowed us early entry into the apartment to drop our bags and begin our vacation. We would definitely recommend this listing (for a single person or a couple)!
