My wife and I stayed in Marc's flat on our recent trip to Paris and Marc was an excellent host. He met us there upon check-in and eve helped us with our bags. He gave us a quick tour of the place and the low down on simple but important things like the locks on doors, getting the wifi setup, and how to use the TV if we wanted. He was also very helpful in helping us arrange transportation on our way out as I had traveled with a bike and required a van, rather than the traditional Parisien sedan.

The flat is fantastic. Great neighborhood with either Velib bikes, the metro, or a taxi no more than 1-2 short blocks away. Place de la République is a just a couple blocks away and the best of Paris' Le Marais neighborhood is all within walking distance.

My wife and I walked or rode the Velib bikes nearly everywhere and only took one taxi all week not including the ones we took on our arrival and departures.

The apartment itself is actually quite spacious with a great bathroom, a nice kitchen, and very new windows that make them super easy to use. The bathroom is really, really nice and feels very much like an upscale hotel and the living room is very well appointed.

I would highly recommend staying at Marc's place if it's available!
