Frank’s place in Le Marais area was wonderful. Frank was quick with communication and the apartment is well equipped and clean, and comfortable for a family of 4 (we were 2 adults and two gigantic teen boys). We had a small issue with the A/C, but Frank was able to find an acceptable fix quickly (especially thankful as the mercury was around 32). From the outside as you head to the front door it doesn’t look like much, and you may wonder what is behind the black door. Rest assured what you find is pure Paris. A cute little entryway/garden area/door that leads to 99 steps up to the apartment. At first it seemed like a lot, but the steps help rationalize a full ham and cheese baguette for lunch and an extra bottle of wine at dinner. The surrounding area is a walking paradise lined with shops and restaurants. But it is also close to a variety of attractions (Louvre and Notre Dame were both less than a 15 minute walk). We took a Batobus (Hop on Hop off boat that was more reasonable than the Hop on Hop off bus) on the Seine River to a variety of attractions as well (Eiffel Tower, Champs Elysees, Musee D’Orsay). It was our first visit to Paris and we are all smitten, and hopefully returning soon.
