Excellent location in the heart of Marais, close to lots of go to places like stores, bars and restaurants. Metro 1, St. Paul, is very near too. Easy communication with host. Noise from square did not bother us, stops before midnight. Having no traffic in front of the house is a huge benefit. Apartment is bright, deliberately designed and makes the most out of the rather compact space. It offers everything you need for a few days and nights in Paris.
