Marc was there to great us and kindly help us with our two large suitcase. The neighbourhood was very central to the Metro system, which was easy to navigate and to get around Paris and to a large number of restaurants and supermarkets. The apartment was how it was depicted in the description and in the photos. After a long day sightseeing the 81 steps to Marc's apartment were a bit daunting; Marc warned us of the steps so that wasn't a surprise. We had a very enjoyable state and loved the central location of the apartment.
