This apartment was perfect for a nearly week-long stay in Paris for our family. It feels like a tiny house with separate spaces, although the master bedroom is in a loft-like room, not completely private. It has tons of charm from the old beams, and it's in a great location in the upper part of the Marais, which still has real neighborhood feeling, little shops and the Marche des Enfants Rouges to buy food to eat at home and cozy unpretentious restaurants. It's near several metro stations and is in walking distance to Pompidou and Picasso museums. It's set in the back of a courtyard and so doesn't get direct sunlight, but Paris is pretty dark in the morning, and we were out all day anyway. We were greeted warmly and allowed to drop off bags before "check in" time. Our host also helped us get a taxi to the train on our departure day. She also looked out for us when Paris was going through a major crisis. Tres gentille!
