The apt is in a charming building in le marais and has all the Parisian charm we were looking for, the balcony, the herringbone floors, the views of the Paris roof tops... it’s in the best neighborhood in Paris as well, walking distance to wonderful bars and restaurants. It was on the 5th floor so you’ll need to prepare to climb the stairs every day. Unfortunately for us there was construction going on outside of the bedroom and bathroom window which forced us to leave the apt early. The owner was not forthright about this information but did quickly refund us. It caused some inconvenience and disappointment obviously and could have been avoided. My suggestions to the homeowner are to upgrade the mattress and pillows. The mattress is hard and the pillows are worn. Everything was newly remodeled except the shower door needs some work.
