My husband and I had a great stay at Christophe's flat in Le Marais. Its located in a thriving and vibrant section of Paris...very convenient to everything in the City Centre. There are numerous restaurants in the surrounding street and plenty of nice shopping nearby. The space itself is not huge but well laid out ...and the pull out couch is super comfy and nearly as big as our king at home. I loved the shower ...lots of hot water and both a rain shower head and a handheld. It was quiet except for the early morning trash pickup but I guess that goes on all over Paris. The elevator works great and the stairway up the last flight was no problem at all. Also, I must add that Christophe is a very helpful and nice guy. His English is perfect...I mean perfect!!
