Location is its primary asset. The apartment is funky but adequate. Nothing deluxe or fancy, for sure. It could certainly benefit from nice little extras, like a soap dish in the shower, a bright enough reading light to read in the bedroom, better silverware, nicer towels (they're almost paper thin), and fixing the slow drain in the bathroom sink. But the location is wonderful - on a cute little street in Marais- a wonderful restaurant across the street, a superb boulangerie in the block, and a good food store and the Metro100 m away.
