Christian's place is perfect for a trip to Paris. It had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Central location and easy access to Metro and walking distance to many locations closeby in the Marais, Republique, etc. The boulangerie/patisserie right across the street is lovely as is the Cafe Arts et Métiers down the street a bit at Reamur/Turbigo intersection. Easy access to grocery shopping with a couple of stores within a block. I stayed during the winter during the holidays and the place was nice and warm. And even though it is centrally located, it is not loud and busy at night like some other areas of the Marais. I would definitely stay here again.
