Marco's place is very well-located. Very close to public transport and both Belleville and Pyrenees metro stations which can take you to almost anywhere in Paris. The neighborhood is very lively and there are many bars, restaurants and bakeries nearby. Marco is a great host and is very responsive. The only negatives of the place are that it's an old apartment and that the sofa bed can be quite noisy when used; but those weren't big issues for us. We will certainly go back to Marco's place if in Paris again.
