We stayed 5 nights in early October. Kitchen well equipped although we did not cook during our stay. New washer/dryer. Host, Chris, was readily available & quite helpful. Located in the heart of Le Marais. While the streets & neighborhood is very crowded, vibrant & noisy (all part of the charm of Le Marais), the apartment is tucked away in a very quiet, private & secure enclave away from the hustle & bustle of the neighborhood beyond the building’s walls. Plenty of convenient neighborhood restaurants, cafes, grocery stores, butcher shops, cheese shops, boulangeries & high-end retail stores. Close proximity to several Metro stops for easy access to the rest of the City. Also very close proximity to the exceptional Picasso Museum. While “cozy & compact” in size, the apartment is totally suitable & roomy enough for two people or two plus a child. Totally as advertised. Reasonably priced for the location. Would definitely stay at this property again.
