Anais and her sister Severine were great hosts. This is a spacious (I think about 800 sq ft) apartment, on 2 levels, in an older walk-up building. Lots of authentic Marais-district charm. A nice living room, nice kitchen, 2 separate bedrooms each with double bed. The interior stairway between levels has a pretty tight radius, so might not be ideal for very young children or adults with mobility issues. Since apt is on 4th (American-style) floor, it might be a good idea to take Anais up on her offer to have her "personal taxi driver," Yacine, pick you up (as we did) since he's willing to carry your bags to the 4th floor. The host family owns the apartment immediately above, which was very useful for a couple of minor issues. Very quiet at night, since there's no car traffic on the street outside. 2 blocks from Arts & Metiers metro stop, easy walk to Pompidou Center. We would stay there again.
