Marc was a wonderful host -- very accommodating, responsive and helpful. The studio is as pictured, very clean and well organized. Terrific shower. It's a great neighborhood if you're looking for lots of nightlife and easy access to the Left Bank, Notre Dame and the Marais. If, however, you want a quiet apartment or are a light sleeper, this might not work for you as it's over a bar and there are often quite a lot of people gathered outside until 2 am or so. If this is no problem for you, you can't beat the location and will not encounter a better host.
