My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Gilles’s place. The location can’t be beat. La Marais is beautiful, has so much to offer, and public transport was close and easy. The apartment is small as indicated, but perfect for the two of us. It was clean, had everything we needed, and had amazing views of Paris. You can even see the Eiffel Tower and I loved to watch it sparkle at night. With a great view comes many stairs but if you don’t mind the climb, it is worth it. As Gilles says, the bed is a Japanese futon so it is not soft, however, we didn’t mind. He was very helpful in giving us tips and recommendations for food and wine, etc. and we would certainly stay here again.
