This is a lovely spacious apartment up only one small flight of stairs in one of the best areas of Paris to stay in. Now that the 6eme has become so overrun with tourists, I think the Marais -- this area -- is my favorite place to stay in Paris, near wonderful architecture, shopping and culture of all kinds. Marc apartment is simple -- not fancy -- but has all that is needed (especially for cooking, if you are cooking), and a reasonably comfortable bed in the bedroom. I was staying by myself so I can't speak to the sofa bed, but for me the space was perfect. I enjoyed having a piano to play and there was even some simple sheet music I was able to practice with. The price is very reasonable as a hotel in that areas would cost a lot -- and the apartment is much bigger! Marc's friend met me promptly with the keys, and explained everything. The Wifi worked perfectly, and the building was bright and charming. I would happily stay there again.
