Marc's place was an excellent choice for my friend and I to stay in while visiting Paris for the first time. Lots of room, could have fit 1 to 2 more people comfortably in this apt. The views are great, and the location is perfect for tons of dining options within a 0 - 10 minute walk. We felt very safe here. We loved the wine bar Redd on same street! Notre Dame, the Louvre, Saint Chapelle, are all easy (and pleasant) walks under 25 minutes. Les Halles metro station is very close. Overall an absolutely great experience...would highly recommend for a clean and spacious place to stay in the 2nd arrondissement.
