The apartment was on three levels; we were traveling with two young children and the first level down (where the kitchen was) had no hand rails on the outer part of the stairs -- with marble floors, it was treacherous. We couldn't let the kids go down on their own. One of the reasons we booked this is because it has a theater downstairs and given the kids were young, we wouldn't have been able to keep them out at night so this was a huge attraction. The person who checked us in gave us the internet code which NEVER worked. We called -- and called -- and called -- and called -- and no ever came until the very last day we were there - the evening we had a boat trip planned -- so essentially, we were able to use it for half an hour on the final night. What we learned is that the person who checked us in gave us the wrong information, I believe they should have given us a discount for the false information and inconvenience and they didn't. The building was great but other than the first floor, everything was dark as it was all below ground -- never shared. There are better places to stay. First time back in Paris in five years and very disappointed. Also, lots of wear and tear on the furniture, floors, etc. Not what we expected.

The apartment was great and the surrounding neighborhood was even better. Very safe, walkable and full of excellent cafes, museums, bakeries, local and luxury shopping, art studios, wine bars, and access to metro in case you decide to wander further out.

Lovely neighborhood in the Marais with fantastic restaurants and shops nearby. The apartment was well appointed and in a quiet area. The triplex has a large bedroom, movie room and bathroom downstairs- the only negative is very poor wi-fi signal and it's cold (like a basement). It was nice to have a washer to do laundry- did need to use a fan and hang dry clothes. Conveniently located apartment- about 10 mins walk to Metro stops. Recommend!
