Marc is an absolutely delightful host who offers a room in the rear of his apartment (which is only a 10 minute walk from Père Lachaise Cemetery). The bedroom overlooks a quiet courtyard, with only the distant voices of children in the background. Only a few minutes walk from the métro, a bus stop, and the usual array of Parisian cafés and shops, still Marc's apartment is in a quiet neighborhood. For those new to Paris, Marc will be most helpful in orienting you to its wonders! I heartily recommend "chez Marc" if you are looking for a pleasant alternative to a hotel room.
