Amazing location and gracious host. If you want to stay in the Marais district, this is the place for you. It get's five stars from me for the location, size, convenience, and value. Below are a few key points about the apartment to consider.
1. It's on the 2nd floor (as American's call it) which means it is just above the ground floor. Large circular stair case that is easily navigable but there is no lift.
2. If your parties need to go separate ways during the day be sure to ask for an additional key as the door locks behind you and there is no lock box or digital entry.
3. One bedroom window faces the courtyard and the other faces the street. Each has it's unique noises during the night. The street is not for cars but you will hear the trash pick up or the street cleaners in the morning and the cafes at night. We loved this but others might not.
4. The floors all slope which is character in the building; it's not an issue.
5. The beds are all very low to the floor which makes it a bit harder to get out of bed at night or the morning.
6. It's a fairly close walk to the metro stations
7. Perfectly situated to wonderful cafes.
