Absolutely as advertised. Beautiful, cozy and charming-- makes great use of space in an old building within the city. Grant helped us check in, and waited all day for our three separate flights to arrive. He was tremendously accommodating and bent over backwards to make sure our stay was comfortable. The apartment is charming and historic-- make sure to ask about the bullet from the Revolution! Bedrooms are European style-- just enough room for a bed and to set your luggage down, but you will not be spending all day in there anyway.
A metro station is right outside the front door, so access to the entire city is only moments away. Wonderful shops and restaurants in close walking distance, including bakeries, grocers, and specialty stores. Walking distance to dozens of sights. The Seine is about a block away, so morning runs or walks along the promenade are easily worked into your schedule. The kitchen is fully outfitted (large toaster oven instead of a full oven, 4 burner stove, every pot, pan and appliance you could need) and you could cook at home every night-- but who would want to when you're in Le Marais? And while there are plenty of people and activities outside during the day, the street quiets up at around 10 p.m. with minimal noise outside at night. A wonderful location, and a good value. Would stay here again.
