This apartment is in a great location. It is very secure and we felt safe there at all times. There are a myriad of restaurants, bakery, grocery and shops nearby and it is easily walkable to Marais and the Pompideau museum. Both the metro and RER stations are very close and easy to use. The apartment itself is small but clean. We had 3 people and it was a good size for us but I wouldn’t want to have more people there. The sofa is a pull out and extremely uncomfortable for sitting. We did not use it as a bed. The beds are likewise uncomfortable- just mattresses resting on boards. After a week my back was very unhappy. The bathroom is very small and the shower/tub floor is uneven which makes it hard to stand in the shower. On the weekends, the noise outside is noticeable but it’s a quiet neighborhood during the week. Overall we recommend this apartment which could be great with a few revisions.
