This is a very special place, a beautiful duplex in an older building with a lot of character, old beams in the ceiling, etc. There is plenty of living space and a compact but very well equipped kitchen downstairs, and a kind of suite upstairs. The location, in the middle of the bustling (and touristic) Marais, is great for walking around to shops, restaurants, the old Jewish street (Rue des Rosiers), museums, the exquisite Place des Vosges, and close enough to walk to the Seine and Notre Dame. Laurence and Stefan couldn't have been nicer, more hospitable, or more responsive as hosts. Their personal touches to accommodate special needs were especially appreciated. Such remarkable kindness in a host is not something money can buy.
