Andre has a spacious and clean apartment, close to the St. Denis Metro stop.
We enjoyed having a clothes washer and a bathtub, and the nearby Le Parisien Cafe. I found the Marais yoga studio within walking distance. Andre sent us written recommendations in advance on places to eat, which were most appreciated.
It's a funky neighborhood, and this street might be a little too rough if you're traveling with children. The bedroom air conditioning unit didn't work well and we never got the TV on, despite host instructions. Some peeling plaster and broken tiles, but clean. Andre was a good communicator. A good value.
