It is useless to try to find a better place in Paris than this central Marais small street where Pascal's apartment is located.
Many of the city's most celebrated and infamous locations are literally never farther than a few minutes walk, including the Louvre, the brand-new and très chic Samaritaine, the Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Saint-Louis Island, the Bastille Opera, among many others. But if you want to pay a visit to farther destinations such as the Louis Vuitton Institute, the Bois de Vincennes or Montmartre, the Saint-Paul subway station is a 3-minute-walk away from the apartment.
The street is full of life during the day, with shops of all kinds, delicatessens and local bistros, but refreshingly silent during the night, while extremely well illuminated and safe.
Pascal and Virginia are also incredibly receptive and kind, communicate perfectly, and the apartment was very clean, well equipped and tidy, exactly as described.
Having visited Paris many times, I can easily say this is the best location we have ever picked. Totally recommended.
