Hello fellow (or potential) travelers, we stayed at rafi's apartment in the Marais Paris and it was perfect. Close to everything food, entertainment, major sights and metro. You can't beat it. Apartment was spacious (we were only 2xtravellers) but still plenty of room for up to 4people. Host was always willing to help and made our arrival very easy and relaxing. Apartment has character and some quirky details but that added to its charm. The 3xflights of stairs just conditioned your legs to the impending walking you'll be doing:) fantastic value for money and beats the left bank anyday. The Marais has character, charm and lots of vibe. Don't listen to the left bank hype...Marais is the place to be. Thanks so much we loved our Paris jaunt and will definitely be back here. Gin & Glenn
