I spent a wonderful month with my two teen age daughters in John's Marais apartment from mid December to mid January. John was friendly and welcoming through his emails prior, and was just the same when we arrived giving us helpful local knowledge . The apartment is light and spacious, very comfortable and everything you may need is there. It is ideally located for strolling through the Le Marais neighbourhood with its specialty food and clothes shops and less than 50 m away is Place de Vosges. It is also perfectly situated for the metro to the tourist sites and Gard de Nord for the Eurostar terminal.
