The apartment is in a GREAT location in el Marais! Great HIP shopping district and more like the "Brooklyn of Paris" neighborhood. Close to the Metro and walkabale location to the Seine (Louvre in one direction and the Bastille in the other). The owner greated us upon arrival and explained all the mechanicals in the apartment plus gave us wonderful advice on restaurants, etc. The apartment is newly decorated and very nice new kitchen and bathroom with great shower. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone!!
