Stephane's apartment is in a good location - just on the edge of the Marais, close to la Republique, and about a 20 min walk to Opera and les Grands Magasins. In addition, it's right outside the metro and there are plenty of grocery stores nearby. Stephane is very kind, helpful, and happy to have you there! He met me at 9am on the day of my arrival and, to my pleasant surprise, took my heavy suitcase up 5 flights of stairs for me. Stephane is super quick to respond, offered me tips, and checked-in on me to make sure everything was going well. My only note is that if you are planning on doing laundry, the dryer is a spin-dryer not a heat-dryer. Therefore, you'll need to hang-dry your clothes but Stephane has provided hangers.
