The host was very communicative, via email, prior to our arrival and filled us in on everything we needed to know to access the flat. The neighborhood in the Marais was wonderful; there is a small outdoor fresh market right across the street with the friendliest people, restaurants and shopping are super close, and train access is less than a 3-minute walk. We could not have wished for a better location. The flat was super clean, with a microwave, tv, washer/dryer combo and comfy places to sleep. It's super small, but oh so cute. And the size didn't matter much because we really only slept there.
