Christophe's place is exactly as described and shown in the photos. It's in a beautiful secure old, building that is very quiet but in a fabulous area and even closer to the Seine and Notre Dame etc. Than we had expected. The Marais is very close and we were only about 10 mins walk to the river. The neighbourhood had everything we needed in terms of pattiseries and boulangeries ... supermarket etc. We use the buses to get around but also walked at night to the Latin quarter on the left bank without any difficulty. The apartment itself had everything we needed for a 4 night stay,..the bed was comfortable, the bathroom was great with a good shower and very clean. We didn't actually cook in the apartment but certainly the facilities were there to make basic meals using the microwave and the two burner stove top .The wifi was also good. We would definitely recommend and would stay here again on our next trip to Paris.
