Had a great stay in Paris. The apartment is very nice and fit our needs great. It is on one of the busiest bar streets in the Marais. This was a bonus for us, we loved stepping out the door into such a fun atmosphere. But because of this, it is pretty loud and you can't sleep with the windows open (it gets warm in the apartment). When the windows are closed they do a great job of blocking out sound. We would definitely recommend Alex's place, but if you are hoping for a quiet side street this apartment is not for you. All in all, we loved it and had so much fun exploring this area of Paris!
