My three friends and I had a wonderful stay in Chris's apartment. A colleague of his was there to meet us when we arrived, and he was very friendly. The place was really clean and comfortable with plenty of towels, coffee, toiletries etc. Chris was happy to let us check-out late which meant a whole last day in Paris without having to carry our luggage around! The little terrace is completely shaded, and stays cool even in the hottest weather. The apartment is near loads of lovely cafes and bars in le Marais, 30secs from a metro station, and walkable to the Seine. Would recommend!
