I loved my far-too-short-of-a-time stay in Antoine's apartment in the heart of Le Marais. What a fabulous little place: compact, clean, modern, and right where you want to be. I've visited Paris many times and so on this trip I just wanted to take in the Paris life. I loved just strolling the streets and people watching, discovering the marché aux enfants, visiting some local restaurants and bars, and scoffing pastries and French cheeses. If you want to visit the tourist sights you can easily take the metro which is a 5 minute walk away or alternatively walk into town in about 20-30 minutes. Although I never met Antoine, everything was well communicated and as she had told me. One word of advice, be aware this apartment is on the 6th floor and there is no apartment - not ideal when you travel heavy like I tend to do.
