Marc's apartment is very clean, modern and well-equipped, and located in a classic old Parisian building, only a few minutes walk from the big Metro interchange at République - very handy for getting anywhere around town, and easy walking distance to the Bastille, Marais and Canal St Martin areas. There are plenty of cafes nearby, and a great boulangerie for your breakfast croissants right next door. Despite its central location, the apartment is really quiet, so you have no trouble getting a good rest at night. Marc was very helpful and always quick to respond to my emails, and he was at the apartment to show me in (and help me upstairs with my luggage ~ much appreciated!). I highly recommend Marc's apartment to anyone visiting Paris.
