Gerard's place was beautiful and exactly as advertised. We were in Paris during a hot week and we loved all the windows we could open, which created really nice cross breeze throughout the entire place. The location is also as advertised -- Marais/Bastille. We spent most of our evenings in the Marais district and everything was a very convenient walk. Just outside the door you also have access to the Velib bikes and the metro, so all tourism is minutes away. Gerard was friendly and very welcoming also, and he was easy to contact when needed. Thank you, Gerard!
