Franz and Patrice are exceptional hosts. They took the time to meet us at the apartment and show us around before leaving on their own travels, and left us with a wealth of material on the local sites and restaurants that we used throughout our trip. The rental is their home and it shows; it is beautifully decorated, comfortable, and charming. It is also very well-located in the desirable Marais district, just a block from the Bastille metro (and the site of the former Bastille), in the heart of a very happening as well as historic neighbourhood in Paris. We so enjoyed exploring the area nearby the apartment, while the apartment itself was a wonderful retreat from the busy streets. We highly recommend Franz and Patrice as hosts and this rental as beautiful and very good value. We would definitely go back if the opportunity presents, and highly recommend to anyone seeking a singular experience in Paris.
