Carole and Georges' apartment is adorable and completely well-designed both in terms of aesthetics as well as functionality. The location is tops, right in the Marais and super walkable to the Republique metro, and only a short walk from some great shopping and smaller museums and galleries. A home away from home. There are a set of stairs as the apartment is on the fourth floor- but by day two, you don't even notice it anymore :)!
