We had a great stay at Rafi's apartment. The location was great - all of the amenities of the Marais area, yet right near the Bastille metro stop with its metro lines, markets, and bars/cafes. And although you are right near everything, the apartment street is very quiet and private. The apartment itself was great too - we had absolutely everything we needed for a comfortable stay (great shower, espresso maker, dishwasher, washing machine, phone line with free calling, and all the basics -- toilet paper, tissues, etc.). You definitely got the feeling that Rafi was hosting you as a personal guest in his apartment, and had taken care to leave information and a few things you may need during your stay. The apartment was just as it was described, and worked out perfectly for the 3 of us - 2 bedrooms, each with its own sink in the room, plus a separate toilet/sink bathroom in the common part of the apartment. The shower is in one of the bedrooms, but it's easy to coordinate around that. The wifi was easy to connect to and very fast. The key arrangement was very easy, and at Rafi's suggestion, we used Fernando for an early morning ride to the airport when leaving. He pulled up right on time, and made an easy departure to a great week. Would definitely recommend this apartment, and would stay there again if we got the chance to return to Paris.
