This 3 br/2 bath apartment was just what my family needed for our first trip to Paris! My husband and I both got our own room and bath and our teenage daughters got their own rooms and a bath to share! The main living space was tight but afforded the amenities you need if your main goal is sight seeing in Paris! The street this apartment is on is quiet and felt very safe but has a fabulous bakery (the baguettes and quiches are a must!) and several restaurants. Countless cafes, groceries, shops are within walking distance. The closest metro is about a 2 minute walk but I think there are like 6 different metro stops within a 10 minutes walk! A few blocks to the Opera Bastille and Place de Vosges and the many lovely restaurants in those areas! Last but not least, our host, Lea.....her instructions provided the day before arrival were a gorgeous itinerary of recommendations, how to's in the apartment along with pictures that put us at ease! We contacted her a few times with questions and I couldn't believe how quickly she responded! Amazing host with a great apartment that is a great value in the Marais!
