the apartment is very conveniently located in the heart of Marais on a narrow street behind the front buildings on the boulevard. everything important is at a walking distance except for the Tour Eiffel & Arch of Triumph. the place is spotless and provides all the necessities. we highly recommend it for families with older children or for couples. some evenings during summer the street below can become noisy because of people gathering at the restaurants serving outdoors but the windows of the apartment are soundproof and the place quiets down towards midnight anyway.
