We loved our 1 week stay at Chris’s apartment in the Marais. Great location next to two metro stations (Chemin Vert and Saint Paul), with a grocery shop 30 metre across the road and a good patisserie nearby. The Marais is lovely to wander around and Place des Vosges is nearby. If looking for good coffee and waffles try Le Peleton cafe. The apartment was comfortable - the 2nd bedroom is very small and not suitable for adults - my 14 and 16 year old both bumped their heads on the roof! The lift is a bonus to avoid the stairs with luggage!
