Located in the northern section of the Marais District of central Paris (3^rd Arrondissement), this well appointed apartment is good value as it is centrally located, newly furnished, and reasonably priced. 

The Square du Temple apartment is located on a small,  private, dead-end street, thus there is very little traffic. The street is quaint, and includes traditional Parisian apartments as well as workshops from the 1700's which have recently be converted into private residences, art galleries and architectural firms. Walk two blocks to the centre of the neighborhood: Square du Temple park (good for children and a leisurely stroll) and the rue Bretagne, where locals do all their shopping in the traditional bakeries, fruit and vegetable shops. 

Within 10 minutes on foot you are in the heart of the Marais (Picasso and Carnevalet Museums, Place des Vosges, and other major architectural attractions primarily from the 17^th and 18^th centuries). Also within walking distance are the Pompidou/Beaubourg art centre, Place de la Republique, and Les Halles and the Hotel de Ville (Paris City Hall). The nearest metro stops are Temple and Republique.
