Sebastian and Jean Baptiste were wonderful hosts. They greeted us when we arrived with chilled white wine and fresh flowers. They also helped us get our bags up to the apartment. Jean Baptiste explained how to use everything in the apartment and gave us suggestions for dinner. While they were away on their own vacation they left us with a contact number for them as well as a friends who was staying in their apartment and would be available to help us at any time. They apartment was wonderful even with the unusual heat we experienced in Paris. The fans were sufficient to keep us comfortable in the evening and for sleeping. Le Marais district is vibrant and interesting and we enjoyed exploring a part of Paris we had not been in before. If you need a very quiet setting for sleep, an apartment in Paris may not be a good choice for you. We didn't mind the street noice and excitement of the neighborhood after we adjusted the first night or two. The apartment was very clean and well cared for, with everything we needed for our stay. We'll be back. :)
