The biggest plus of Charles' place is the location. It is walking distance to nearly ever major tourist destination in Paris - Norte Dame, the Louvre, Eiffel Tower, Musee D'Orsay, Musee de L'Orangerie, the Latin Quarter, Bateaux Mouche river cruises, Pompidou Centre, etc. Its situation in Le Marais is also handy for loads of restaurants and shops of all kinds. Additionally it is very close to several Metro stations and only 5 stops from the Gare du Nord. Charles greeted us in person and was very helpful during the trip, easily contactable via text/email. The apartment is clean, comfortable and quiet considering it is in such a busy area. The only drawback for some may be that there is no elevator.
